Description
A woman stands with her arms spread wide, a wreath in each hand, on the obverse of HK-284a, under the legend "Exposition of Art, Science & Industry." At her right lie books, a globe, an artist's palette, a scroll and a T-square; at her left, an anvil, a sledge hammer, a gear wheel and a metal boiler. The reverse turns to the place, a view of the grounds and buildings of Omaha's 1898 fair, circled by "Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition Omaha June to Nov. 1898." Hibler and Kappen list it as an additional medal of the exposition, apart from the official Mint pieces, and name no maker. HK-284a is the white metal version and takes the 38 mm size of the bronze HK-284; a silver striking is HK-284b.
