Gold Award Medal Louisiana Purchase Exposition 1904 St Louis Olympic Venue

Gold Award Medal from theLouisiana PurchaseExposition / World\'s Fairheld in St Louis in 1904, which was notable among other things for including the 3rd Modern Olympic Games.I would judge it to be in fine (F) to very fine (VF) condition, with a small-to-medium sized edge knock on one of the corners, a little damage to one of the eagle\'s wings and traces of verdigris. Please take a good look at my photos and form your own opinion. There is no case.

Made from Bronze,Height70 mm (2.75 inches), Width 71 mm(2.8 inches), Weight 146.4 grams, mintage 9,000. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman (who later designed the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and Mercury Dime), as one of his earliest commissions for a struck medal. The engravings and medals were struck by the U.S. mint in Philadelphia.

This isone of five medals designed by Weinman for the Fair, the others being the Grand Prize, Silver, Bronze and Commemorativeawards. These are some of the most popular and collectable of all exposition medals. Becausethe Expositionincluded the Olympic Games these medals are sometimes collected by collectors of Olympic Participation Medals (the official 1904 OPM is extremely rare and prohibitively expensive for most).
