1892 Chicago Columbian Exposition Souvenir Token
Held in Chicago to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas, the Columbian Exposition (or Chicago World's Fair) ran from May to October of 1893 and saw approximately 27 million visitors. Collectable coins and medallions were sold in the previous year to raise funds, with engravings of Columbus often featured on the obverse. This example depicts Columbus landing in America, with flags and spears held high. The reverse shows the Chicago fairgrounds.
