Description
Two world's fairs share HK-314, an aluminum medal of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The obverse is a woman's bust facing out under rays, both hands holding a ribbon across her chest marked PAX, with "Commemorating the Louisiana Purchase 1803" above and "St. Louis World's Fair 1903-4" below. The reverse looks back to the previous decade: a sailing ship beneath rays, lettered "Commemorating the Discovery of America 1492" and "Chicago World's Fair 1892-3." Beaded borders frame both sides. Hibler and Kappen call it the Pax dollar and list it in aluminum only; it is Eglit 342. Aluminum, 38 mm.
