Free Silver (Silver slippers in Wizard of Oz), Yellow Brick Road (gold bricks Fort Knox), OZ (written on every brick for oz.), Munchkins (the common man - little people), Journey to Emerald City, (March to Washington), Scarecrow (uneducated farmer and granges), Tin Man (industrial workers treated like machines, unions), Cowardly Lion (William Jennings Bryan called the Lion, backed out of election because he did not think he would win), Witch (Drought), Flying Monkey's (trouble with indians out west), Wizard of OZ (president of the United States, bumbling humbug). Whole story is contained in this little campaign coin following the "Cross of Gold Speech." Mechanical coin changes with rotation of the tab on top. Very rare with the original FOB chain.
