#128313; Historical Significance

This medal commemorates the 1909 AYPE, a world's fair celebrating Seattle's emergence as a Pacific gateway. Unlike the official HK-listed medals, this privately issued piece by Schwaab features a unique trio of symbolic figures, each representing a pillar of civilization. Its reeded edge and gilt finish suggest it was a premium souvenir, possibly sold at the exposition or through affiliated vendors.
