Pan-Pac Question

Hemispherical

I do not know anything about Pan-Pacs so any information on these pieces are appreciated.

I tried using the search but the threads I found had dead pic links.

1915? HK 400?

I believe that this is the official medal sold to the public, but I'll also be interested in what Pan-Pac collectors have to say.

Here's some info I found when I got this medal. Careful, these Pan-Pac medals and coins can be addictive.

The above design came in three different metal type ..... silver, copper and bronze and they are quite nice on higher grade

They are designed by Robert Ingersoll Aitken, who also designed the round and octagonal slugs. Here’s some more info:

This is a great reference article...thanks.

To add to the OP, and Paradise Found's mention of three metals for the official medal, snipped from the article:

Now going to look for the HK-399 and HK-401
