1962 Medal SH-25-6 Bronze 39mm World of Century 21

Coin Details

Description

This 1962 bronze medal at 39mm from the SH-25-6 series celebrates the World of Century 21 theme at the Seattle exposition. This design encapsulates the overall futuristic vision of the fair rather than a specific pavilion, representing the Century 21 Exposition's grand theme of imagining life in the twenty-first century. The fair predicted video telephones, personal computers, and space tourism — some of which have been realized while others remain aspirational. American commemorative medals document the nation's history through miniature sculptural art, preserving events, achievements, and personalities in a durable metallic format that has served collectors and historians for centuries. The bronze medal served as a general souvenir capturing the exposition's overarching message of technological progress and human advancement.
