The newly man-made Treasure Island was the location for the third and final major exposition held in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge had both just been recently completed and San Francisco wanted to host a celebration that would draw everyone to the city that was now readily accessible. Fourteen 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.
