1899 National Export Exposition
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The primary goals of the National Export Exposition held in Philadelphia were to encourage and support American manufacturers and extend the United States trade relationships with foreign countries. Both of the so-called dollars known and cataloged for this exposition are well executed and future views of the Philadelphia Commercial Building, which was constructed for the exposition. Two so-called dollars were struck in various compositions for this exposition. The details are cataloged in my 2023 book So-Called Dollars Volume I: United States Expositions.
