Description
George Thomas Brewster designed the official medal of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and it was struck in the Mint exhibit on the grounds. HK-287 is the silver striking. On the obverse a heroic Indian figure stands astride a soaring eagle with his left arm raised, the designer's name in microscopic letters at lower left. On the reverse the Western Hemisphere appears in relief, with the exposition's monogram underneath and the lettering "Pan American / Exposition / Bvffalo N Y V S A / May 1 Nov 1 / MDCDI" above. The fair set out to promote trade and friendship with the other American republics, and Central and South American nations put up buildings of their own. Silver, 34 mm; copper is HK-288 and brass HK-289.
