Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
The flaming altar on the obverse of HK-440 sits under an all-seeing eye that sheds rays from the clouds, with thirteen eight-pointed stars in a ring around it and "Confederation" on a ribbon at the bottom. Thomas L. Elder took that picture from the forty-dollar notes of the Continental Congress of 1778-1779. The reverse records the French and British officials who visited in 1917, among them Rene Viviani, Marshal Joffre, A. J. Balfour and Lord Cunliffe, with a border legend saying the piece was struck to mark their visit. HK-440 is aluminum and 38 mm, DeLorey 94. A matching aluminum medal for the Veteran Corps of Artillery's guard of honor is HK-447.
