Comments
Designed and issued by Jules Louis Charbneau, San Francisco fine arts appraiser and dealer. Total pieces struck, both years, 2,500 Gold; 500 Silver and 50 Copper. There were two Gold and Silver issues, one dated 1939, other 1940 but it cannot be established if Copper was also struck each year. Sale was disappointing and bulk of entire issue was melted down. Reverse bust of Pacifica, "Queen" of fair, taken from her full statue, located on grounds at entrance to Cavalcade of the Golden West exhibit.
