1904 LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION- BRONZE AWARD MEDAL 71.5 mm x 71 mm, Shield

Description: Large Official Award Medal, from the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis Worlds Fair. This is the “Commemorative Medal” struck at the United States Mint, and designed by Adolph A. Weinman. It is the second lowest mintage of the five Award Medals given by the Exposition Jury, only the “Grand Prize” medal has fewer struck. Pictured on the obverse of the medal is the standard image which appears on all the five medals, and the reverse is the same as the other medals, except for the inscription on the tablet which reads “Commemorative Medal, Louisiana Purchase Exposition.” It is struck in Bronze, Triangular in shape, approximately 2 3/4″ by 2 3/4″ in size. These are some of the most popular and collectable of all exposition medals. They are interesting because of their unique shapes and design, the unique material they are made of, and 5 levels of medals awarded. The exposition itself was popular and interesting also. All of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition award medals were designed by Weinman and struck by the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia. The various award medals had different overall shapes, but common central designs. The awards were presented to the exhibiters, along with a diploma, rather than having engravings done on the medals themselves. This will be a great addition to your medals collection. A nice unique piece of history and one of the favorites of collectors! Priced to sell! This is the last week the medal will be offered as I will be taking off for the rest of the year, so if you want it, but it now. Thanks, Robert Fowler, collector.
