1893 Venezuelan Medal for the Worlds Columbian Exposition. By R. Sneider, New York. Eglit-93. White Metal. About Uncirculated. 60.5 mm. Bright surfaces with just a trace of toning over Columbus head. One tiny pesting spot on the lower obverse rim is noted, but the surfaces are quite pleasing otherwise. Just a few light hairlines are noted. A fairly scarce exposition medal, as only a single example could be found in our online archives covering about 15 years of offerings. It was virtually identical to this one. Likely picked up by Professor Putnam at the fair, or perhaps even gifted to him as a recognized official of the event.
