Description
Arkansas chose aluminum for its 1915 exposition medal because, as Hibler and Kappen explain, the state produced more than 90 per cent of the nation's bauxite, the ore of aluminum. The reverse makes the point: under a picture of the Arkansas Building, the words "Arkansas Supplies the World With Aluminum," with "Arkansas Exposition Fund" above and "The Land of Plenty" below. The obverse carries the state seal within the legend "Panama Pacific International Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 *." Whitehead & Hoag Co. of Newark signed it in microscopic letters. Unlike the bronze medals other states sold to raise exhibit money, the Arkansas piece was presented to people at home and to notable visitors at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. HK-403 is aluminum, 38 mm.
