Milan Exhibition Coins.

Milan during the next two months

not coinage, yet one coin all to itself,

There is also special exhibition
stamp, which, during the exhibition
period, will be used at all postoffices in

much to be said for the stamp, but to
all who see it, at home or abroad, is
clearly brought the knowledge that a
great worlds show may be seen at
Milan. The exhibition coin is rather
handsome.
