Description

South Carolina's state seal fills the reverse of HK-412, with "For South Carolina Exposition Fund" around the upper edge, and the obverse is the sailing-ship design shared with the North Carolina and Tennessee fund medals: a ship under sail with the ribbons "The Land Divided" and "The World United" above and below it, inside "Panama-Pacific International Exposition" and "San Francisco 1915." The two ribbons speak of the canal the fair was held to celebrate, a strip of land cut through to bring the oceans together. South Carolina sold the medal to raise money for its exhibit, generally at a dollar apiece as with other state fund medals. HK-412 is bronze, 38 mm; HK-412a is silver-plated bronze.
