This bronze is one of three
replicas of the famous
Wild Boar of Florence
at the entrance of the Straw Market in that historical Italian city. The original was carved in marble by the Greeks before the time of Christ. Later the Romans made a copy, which is now in the Uffizi Gallery. In 1857, the Italian artist Benelli, cast it in bronze. In Kansas City as in Florence, the coins are given for the benefit of children.
