Yes, this is exonumia, slightly OT, but hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction easily enough.
1904 Lousiana Purchase Exposition/ Universal Exposition / St. Louis World's Fair:
AA Weinman designed beautiful award medals that were made by the U.S. Mint. There were different shapes for Grand Prize, Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, with the same cool central design. All I've discovered so far is that there were some 33,000+ medals awarded.
Does anyone know (or can point me to the right book) how many the Mint produced of each type?
Many thanks for your help!
