Beautiful medal, commems!
Jerry, I have a couple of those souvenir tokens from the Industrial and Cotton Centennial. Hoping to acquire a silver one.

An unusual Columbian Expo medal. My understanding is these were given to a French delegation traveling to the expo. Somewhat scarce but not really expensive when they do appear.

Florida Subtropical Expo token.

From Wikipedia: The Sub-Tropical Exposition was held from January until May 1888 in Jacksonville, Florida[1] and seasonally in two subsequent years. Grover Cleveland attended the opening.
