Description
Two buildings of the 1904 St. Louis fair face each other on HK-319. The obverse is the Palace of Electricity, 525 by 750 feet, which the medal says cost 399,940 dollars. The reverse is the Temple of Fraternity, smaller at 200 by 300 feet, with a cost of 200,000 dollars. "Worlds Fair St. Louis" heads each side and beaded borders frame both. Electric light, then a mark of progress, was used without stint at the exposition for decoration as well as lighting, which gives the Electricity side its point. The aluminum striking here comes first in the listing, followed by brass as HK-319a. Aluminum, 36 mm.
