Description

Unlike most of the Exhibition Palace dollars, HK-322 drops the dimensions and costs and simply names its buildings. The obverse shows the Palace of Agriculture and its grounds, signed Lauer at lower left, with "Saint Louis World's Fair / 1904" beneath. The reverse shows the Machinery Building above the same inscription. Both sides have very finely beaded borders, where the costed series has ordinary beaded borders. The medal is aluminum with a reeded edge, 36 mm. The fair it records drew about 20 million visits between its opening on April 30 and its close on December 1.
