Owner Comments:
Obv. Allegorical grouping of four women representing Europe, Asia, South America and North America, leaving offerings on a stone plinth, with an olive tree in the background. Rev. St. Louis 1904 America Welcomes The World. Design by De Paulis, 2" diameter.
(Krueger-220)
NOTE - The 2nd obverse image is of a proof medal I acquired with same obverse as H-30-280, but with a different reverse (not shown here). I believe this was originally struck for the 1900 Paris exhibition in France. I've included this image here for reference, as the details are nearly perfect. Noted in Krueger as a variant.
