1933 Italian Exhibit Dollar, HK-471, MS62 NGC
<B>1933 Italian Exhibit Dollar, HK-471, MS62 NGC.</B></I> Bronze, 34.9 mm. A breathtaking design that was issued for Italy's exhibit at the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition and World's Fair in Chicago. The obverse features an allegorical scene with a female figure walking before a conglomeration of skyscrapers. An artistic representation of a radiant sun in the upper-right quadrant beautifully balances the design. The reverse displays a Herculean male carrying fasces, with a large eagle's wing filling most of the background. The reverse legend reads MOSTRA ITALIANA, which simply translates to ITALIAN EXHIBIT. A touch of discoloration on the highest of points precludes a higher grade, although the eye appeal is on par with the few pieces that have been graded higher. Census: 1 in 62, 7 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
