Description

A winged woman standing on a globe, with ships and a train behind her, is the obverse of HK-294, a medal of South Carolina's Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, held at Charleston in 1901 and 1902. The reverse spells out the fair's name, dates and city in eight lines, "South / Carolina / Interstate and / West Indian / Exposition / 1901-1902 / Charleston / S. C.," beside a stalk of corn and flowers bound with a ribbon. The exposition covered about 250 acres, made up of the old Washington Race Course and a farm that its owner, Captain Wagener, lent to the directors rent-free for three years. Four metals are recorded for it: brass, silver, white metal and nickel. Brass, 35 mm.
