savatreatabvr Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 11/04/2024 12:32 am I have this 1885.86 North Central and South American Exposition Token or Medal or something. I'm really curious about the E.V.R. stamped on the front. It also says New Orleans so anyone know what this is? Report this Post to the Staff

The initials on it are probably the person who purchased it. See a similar one with different initials on this page, about halfway down: https://www.expositionmedals.com/1884/ Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

savatreatabvr Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 11/04/2024 08:50 am Wow, thank you for the awesome information. I guess they're all considered medals but is there a significant difference in the importantance or value between the awarded ones, the tokens and souvenirs? Id love to find out who the initials belong too. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's one that I acquired a couple years ago that wasn't ridiculously expensive. It's huge - 73.3 mm and 260 g. I doubt that you'll be able to figure out who "E.V.R." is, but it could happen!
