commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12267 Posts	Posted 06/28/2024 11:56 am Two explorers for the price of one! The 1904 and 1905 Gold Dollars for the Lewis and Clark Exposition. (A two-headed gold coin issued in 1904 and 1905.) The coins present a portrait of Captain Merriwether Lewis on the obverse, with the reverse featuring Second Lieutenant William Clark; Lewis referred to Clark as "Captain" and viewed him as a co-leader of their expedition, but his official Army rank was the subordinate Second Lieutenant. .

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12267 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 07:38 am Moses Cleaveland was an explorer/surveyor who traveled into northeastern Ohio in 1796; he was there on behalf of the Connecticut Land Company (he was an investor/part owner) to explore and survey the area and assess its economic potential. He selected the site of present-day Cleveland during his expedition. The area was considered a part of Connecticut at the time, and was often referred to as the Connecticut Western Reserve or New Connecticut. A left-facing portrait of Cleaveland is seen on the obverse of the 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial - Great Lakes Exposition Half Dollar. The reverse presents a map of the Great Lakes region, with key port cities indicated by stars. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
