1933 HK-464a, A&P Carnival - Cow Dollar

Coin Details

Description

A cow in mid-jump, turned left with a flower over and under it, is the reverse that sets HK-464a apart from the pig medal (HK-464). The ribbon below the animal says "Cheerio," and small initials T.S. sit at the bottom. The obverse is shared with the pig piece, a ring of fruit and vegetables around the A & P Carnival name and the 1933 Chicago World's Fair date, crowned by a ribbon reading "A Century of Progress." The carnival was the grocery chain's amusement corner of the exposition, which stood on more than 400 acres of the Lake Michigan shore and opened from May 27 to November 12 in both 1933 and 1934, honoring Chicago's first hundred years as a municipality. This piece is gilt and 35 mm wide.
