1946 International Monetary Conference So-Called $1 Georgia. Savannah. 1946 So-Called Dollar. HK-495. International Monetary Conference, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Gilt, Removed. Plain Edge. Medal Turn. UNC Details – Improperly Cleaned – NGC. Obv: bust of Roosevelt left, name above, 1882-1945 below. Rev: outline map of Georgia, SAVANNAH / GA at center, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFERENCE MAR. 8-22, 1946 around. The reference information at so-calleddollars.com notes that HK-495 is a gilt issue; the somewhat bright pink-orange surfaces and numerous hairlines suggest this piece was stripped of its gilt finish at some point, perhaps to create a “rare” copper example of an issue that only comes gilt. In spite of everything, this specimen sill enjoys a certain degree of eye appeal. Held at the Oglethorpe Hotel on Wilmington Island off the coast of Savannah, with 300 delegates in attendance “from most of the countries in the world,” according to an old account. This so-called dollar issue was sponsored by the Savannah Junior Chamber of Commerce. The Osborne Register Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, struck 25,000 examples, many of which were placed on the dinner plates of the conference attendees early on; the remainder were sold at the Junior Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
