Owner Comments:

HK-484 - 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition - Petroleum Exhibit "So-Called Dollar" (Specifically labeled as "Type 2"

Also known as the 1939 Petroleum Dollar. Another version of this medal was struck in 1940 and is identified as HK-483. The obverse on HK-483 is more modern looking, but the reverse contains exactly the same text. I find it interesting that the higher HK number was assigned to the earlier medal. This always trips me up when describing these medals.

See http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Golden_Gate_Exposition.html for a description.
