Description
Joseph Wharton is honored on HK-323, a nickel medal the International Nickel Company issued for the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. His bearded bust faces right on the obverse, under the claim "Malleable Nickel First Produced in 1865 by" and above his name with the degrees Sc.D. and L.L.D. The reverse reads "American Malleable Nickel" around the top; across the center, between small round ornaments, are "International / Nickel Company / 1904," and "St. Louis Exposition" curves below. The piece is struck in the very metal it promotes, and Wharton's name sits on it as the pioneer of that product. Hibler and Kappen also list it in brass as HK-323a. Nickel, 33 mm.
