1915 So-Called Dollar HK-409b, Montana Exposition Fund
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Of the three finishes of Montana's 1915 exposition medal, HK-409b is the gilt one, beside bronze HK-409 and silver-plated bronze HK-409a. Montana sold the medal ahead of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition to raise money for its display. Exhibits at the fair were contemporary by rule: nothing could compete for an award unless it had been produced since the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and some 900 conventions met in San Francisco during the year. The medal's obverse shows Victory on the prow of a ship holding out a laurel wreath, exposition buildings and the sun behind; its reverse shows mining and farm tools in a mountain valley, with "For Montana Exposition Fund" and "Oro Y Plata." It is 38 mm across.
