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. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
