commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12256 Posts	Posted 09/02/2024 11:09 am Happy Labor Day! (If you're in the US.) To help mark the day, I present the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition Isabella Quarter. The reverse of the coin features a female figure, kneeling, facing left and holding a distaff in her left hand linked to a spindle held in her right. The design was meant to be symbolic of women's industry, using the thread/yarn manufacturing industry as its model. It can be argued, however, that Charles Barber's portrayal was about 100 years out of date as it failed to present the then-current tools and manufacturing methods of the industry! Back in 1957, a proposal was floated in the US Congress to commemorate the history of the day with a half dollar. Interested?
