UP FOR BID IS ONE (1) BEP MINT SOUVENIER CARD "THE AMERICAN ALLEGORY" FLORIDA UNITED NUMISMATISTS ( FUN SHOW ) ORLANDO, FLORIDA, JANUARY 1997. THE TWO ALLEGORIC FIGURES ON THIS NOTE REPRESENT AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRY, THE FEMALE FIGURE REPRESENTING AGRICULTURE IS HOLDING FRUIT AND WHEAT, FLOWING FROM A BASKET CALLED A CORNICOPIA. THE MALE FIGURE REPRESENTING INDUSTRY IS HOLDING A SLEDGEHAMMER, A TOOL " USED FOR DRIVING WEDGES AND POSTS AND OTHER HEAVY WORK". THE MEANING OF THE WORD INDUSTRY AS USED IN THIS ALLEGORICAL CONTEXT IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF THE WAY IN WHICH HUMAN EFFORT HAS BEEN HARNESSED AS A FORCE FOR THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF GOODS AND SERVICES". THIS REPLICA IS A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY AND A MASTERPIECE FROM THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING!
