Description
Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition nearly died before it opened. First proposed in 1896, its company was chartered in June 1897 with an opening planned for 1899, but the Spanish American War almost put an end to it until the mayor revived interest in December 1898. It finally ran from May 1 to November 2, 1901, on over 350 acres beside the Delaware Park lake. HK-289 is the brass version of the official medal struck in the Mint exhibit there, designed by George Thomas Brewster: an Indian riding a soaring eagle on the obverse, the Western Hemisphere in relief on the reverse with the exposition's monogram and dates. Silver (HK-287) and copper (HK-288) pieces come from the same dies. Brass, 34 mm.
