1907 Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition
Norfolk County, Virginia
The Jamestown Exposition celebrated the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement of the colony of Virginia at Jamestown. Highlights found along the entertainment district, the Warpath, included a recreation of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the Civil War naval battle between the ironclad warships U.S.S Monitor and the C.S.S Virginia. Nine 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.
