PEACE JUBILEE
1898
PHILADELPHIA, PA
To commemorate end of Spanish-American War, August 1898, and return to peace, several U.S. cities had medals struck for local celebrations.
Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Washington, D. C. and other cities issued medals to mark occasion but all known to authors are holed or looped. Only medal known to qualify for this work is this small gold dollar-size piece of Philadelphia.
