Description
A tall palm and a plantation scene fill the center of HK-292, ringed by the full name of the fair, "South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition." The reverse shows Fort Sumter inside a wreath, with "1901 Charleston 1902" and "South Carolina" around it. Hibler and Kappen list it in silver-plated copper on a rather thin planchet, 33 mm, and admit that no one has established which of the exposition's medals was the official one or which were struck in the Mint exhibit on the grounds. The fair was Charleston's bid to advertise its port and its location for commerce with Central and South America and the West Indies, in hope of regaining the commercial standing the city had lost to other southern towns.
