Owner's Description

GOLDEN GATE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION 1939-1940 SAN FRANCISCO, CA LORD'S PRAYER DOLLARS TYPE II, CATHOLIC TRANSLATION. Purpose: To celebrate openings of both Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bridges; former, "longest single suspension span in the world"; latter, "largest structure of its kind in the history of man." THIS EXAMPLE IS THE SINGLE FINEST GRADED OF THIS TYPE IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 7/2018. THE TYPE 2 CATHOLIC TRANSLATION HK-479A IS APPARENTLY MUCH RARER THAN THE TYPE 1 PROTESTANT TRANSLATION MEDAL HK-479, AS THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF 17 HK-479A'S LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS.
