1 Dollar America's Cup without rope-like ornamentation

American Samoa issued this dollar in anticipation of the 1988 America's Cup defense, which ended in one of the most controversial episodes in the race's history — Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes was disqualified after New Zealand challenged the catamaran's eligibility, a legal dispute that went to the New York Court of Appeals. The "without rope-like ornamentation" distinction in Schön refers to a minor but catalogued die variety differentiating this piece from its companion issue.
