1915 So-Called Dollar HK-417, Exposition City Dollar

Coin Details

Description

San Francisco is "the Exposition City" on HK-417: a seated woman, turned to the right, raises a palm branch in both hands above the exposition buildings, a bear's head showing at her side, with "1915 San Francisco the Exposition City" beneath and the microscopic initials "SA" at lower left. On the reverse, a relief map of the Americas shows a nude female figure in the Atlantic handing a wreath across the Panama Canal to another in the Pacific, over a crossed ribbon reading "Commemorating the Opening of the Panama Canal." The words "A. P. Starke Copyrighted" run in tiny letters around the top. HK-417 is brass, 37 mm; bronze and gilt versions are HK-418 and HK-418a.
