1893 Columbian Exposition Commemorative Half Dollar - Gallery-Wrapped Canvas - Limited Edition

A star among stars. America's first commemorative coin, struck for Chicago's 1893 World's Fair to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's 1492 voyage, shown by the Santa Maria sailing between Old World and New. Most were worn away by circulation. This one is the exception: deep original toning, warm gold light, and sails in bright relief.

The 1893 Columbian Exposition Commemorative Half Dollar takes center stage in this Limited Edition Red Carpet Coins canvas, designed by Robert Douglas and printed in our own factory in Georgia. The canvas is gallery-wrapped with black edges that carry the artwork around the sides, so it hangs clean and modern with no frame needed.
