Description
Thomas L. Elder had this small gold piece struck in 1910, five years ahead of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, in anticipation of it. Hibler and Kappen record that it appears to be the work of the New York jeweler H. Kroll, a conclusion drawn by the California gold specialist Mike Locke from its style and from comparison of the original dies. The obverse, crudely engraved, is a raised map of the three Americas, with "Panama Canal" at upper left and "U. S. of America" at upper right; the reverse, better cut but not fully struck up, reads "San Francisco 1915" inside "Panama Pacific Internat. Exp.," with some letters double cut. Both sides have beaded borders. HK-1030 is gold, proof, 13 mm.
