1915-S Gold $1.00 Panama-Pacific AU
In 1915, the San Francisco Mint struck a limited run of 15,000 gold dollar coins to mark the grand opening of the Panama Canal and celebrate the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. This coin, composed of 0.900 fine gold with a gold content of 0.0483 troy ounces, stands as a miniature monument to a massive global milestone. The obverse, created by Charles Keck, presents a profile of a worker, representing the laborers who built the canal. On the reverse, the face value of ONE DOLLAR is encircled by two dolphins, a design element reflecting the connection of the oceans. This particular specimen survives in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving the intricate details of this historic San Francisco issue.
