2022 Medal ANA World's Fair of Money Chicago Brass 38mm

Coin Details

Description

This brass convention medal was struck for the American Numismatic Association's 2022 World's Fair of Money, held in Rosemont, Illinois near Chicago. The 38mm medal was designed by ANA creative associate Shayla Bradford and depicts the Chicago skyline, incorporating the city's iconic architectural profile into a geometric composition that reflects both the city's modernist design heritage and the precision of medallic art. Chicago and its suburbs have hosted more ANA conventions than any other metropolitan area, and the city holds deep significance in numismatic history as the longtime headquarters of several major coin dealers and auction houses. The World's Fair of Money is the successor branding to the ANA's traditional annual convention, emphasizing the event's scale as the largest coin show in the United States. Convention medals from the 2022 show were offered in two formats: a larger 2.75-inch bronze single medal and a two-medal set containing one-inch bronze and silver pieces. The brass composition of this 38mm piece identifies it as a variant format from the standard offerings.
