1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition Medal of Award Bronze Fresh from a local estate, I offer to you this wonderful piece of history.My images are the best description of condition, I show the metal both outside in natural lighting aswell as under studio lights, please view closely.
Designed by the famous American sculptor John Flanagan (best known in U.S. numismatics as the designer of the Washington quarter), the Panama-Pacific medal was issued as an award for many products and exhibits on display at the expo. Just 2,000 of these were struck and issued in bronze by the U.S. mint, and are now often encountered with spotting, scuffs, and other blemishes. The elegant design features personifications of the two oceans meeting, with the Panama Canal being at their middle. The expo itself was styled as a celebration of the completion of the canal (its first use was just six months before the opening of the expo), but in a wider sense, the fair gave the world a chance to see the recovery of host city San Francisco following the devastation of the 1906 earthquake.Item will be shipped insured via USPS.
