In addition, however, I have also posted about the design elements found on many of the coins over in the "Post Your..." galleries area, as well as within posts here under non-coin-specific titles. I've decided to collect these multiple design discussions for each coin of the series in one place for quick access, I present... 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition - Design Element Discussion Threads - 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition - Coins Designed by a Woman - 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition - Coins with Stars - 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition - Coins Depicting Maps - 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition - Coins with 'Pieces of the Sea' 1936 Cleveland, OH Centennial / Great Lakes Exposition Half Dollar For other of my posts about commemorative coins and medals, including more on the history of the Cleveland half dollar and other Design Discussion Index posts, see: Commems Collection.

Yeah, the stars on the map often fade into the background for those who view the coin. It was nice to briefly make them the focus! IIRC, the star for Toronto, Ontario (Canada) represents the only time an individual foreign city was specifically called out/identified (though not by name) in the design of a classic era US commemorative coin.
