Description
HK-415 is a gilt brass souvenir of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco's world's fair of 1915, open from February 20 to December 4 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal and the city's rebuilding after the 1906 earthquake and fire. The reverse shows the Tower of Jewels with "California the Exposition State" around it and "San Francisco 1915" below. The obverse, shared with HK-414, has a woman holding a California flag and a wreath beside a bear, with the fairgrounds, the bay, the hills and the sun behind them. Hibler and Kappen group it with the "Exposition State" dollars and name no maker. President Wilson opened the fair from afar by pressing a gold key. It has a reeded edge. This piece is gilt brass, 35 mm.
