#1904LPEofficialMedal
Item description from the seller
This item is a 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition official souvenir medal, specifically identified as the HK-304 variety. The medal measures 33mm in diameter and was struck in various metals, including copper, bronze, and silver. The obverse design features conjoined busts of President Thomas Jefferson and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, honoring the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase deal.
These "so-called dollars" were sold at the expo for prices ranging from 25 cents to $1.25 depending on the metal composition.
This particular commemorative coin has been kept in a smoke free and pet free home. Without opening it, cannot ascertain for sure, but appears to be aged copper.
This would make a great addition to any 1904 World’s Fair collection.

The reverse design by Filipino-Canadian artist Bert Monterona features concentric rings composed of symbolic motifs, each representing unique facets of Filipino culture and the enduring values of resilience and unity. Forming the outermost ring, the rope motif symbolizes interconnected strength and diversity, while a row of triangular patterns evokes both the country’s mountain ranges and festive banderitas, reflecting the Filipino spirit of resilience and celebration. The next row features the swimming Sarimanok, the mythical bird representing migration, adaptability, and perseverance. Interwoven heart motifs follow, expressing love, compassion and the deep sense of community that unites Filipinos. Further in, Canadian sugar maple leaves blend seamlessly with plant-based okir motifs, symbolizing unity between the two cultures. At the centre, imitation mother of pearl crowns the engraved sun motif to represent freedom, unity, and cultural treasures. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

  ToddPollock The centrepiece is imitation mother of pearl (MOP) and represents both the Philippines’ rich biodiversity and national treasures. In the Filipino art tradition, delicate mother-of-pearl inlays bring luminous beauty to jewellery, furniture and design. The gold version contains a real MOP.
  
  The Elaborate symbolism around the MOP.
  From the mythical Sarimanok to okir, the precision-engraved symbols capture the Philippines’ living traditions and reflect an enduring cultural pride.

Tough coin. Not exactly rare but very desirable to put that set together. I hardly ever passed on a good deal but this is one. It's one of my only coin collecting regrets ... not buying a 1936 OGP proof set I was offered about 20 years ago. I thought $4k was kinda high (LOL)
