1962 Medal SH-25-7 Silver 39mm Century 21-World Of Commerce

Coin Details

Description

This 1962 silver medal at 39mm from the SH-25-7 series features the World of Commerce pavilion from the Century 21 Exposition. The silver version of the Commerce design was produced in limited quantities for collectors. The World of Commerce was an integral part of the fair's vision, demonstrating that technological progress would translate into improved consumer goods and expanded international trade opportunities. Private medal producers including the Franklin Mint, Medallic Art Company, and numerous smaller firms have supplemented U.S. Mint production, creating a rich and diverse medallic landscape for American collectors. The international exchange of medallic ideas and techniques between American and European practitioners has enriched both traditions, with American medalists adapting European conventions while developing distinctive national styles. The complete silver set of all Century 21 medal designs represents a substantial collecting achievement given the limited production of each silver variety.
