Description
Measurements and money fill the reverse of HK-316: below the Government Building of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition the medal states that it is 764 feet long and cost 450,000 dollars. This is the aluminum striking, reeded like its brass twin (HK-315), of an Exhibition Palace dollar from the 1904 fair. The obverse turns to the Cascade Gardens with a building beyond, again under "Worlds Fair St. Louis" and inside a beaded border. Exhibition palaces were the heart of the fair, fifteen of them arranged around a central festival hall, and this series of medals gave visitors a pocket record of their size and expense. Aluminum, 36 mm.
