Do you know specifically when you received this one? Most of these have a “S” mintmark below the dates on the obverse and were struck at the SF Mint. That was true until sometime in the 2000’s when some were struck at the Philadelphia mint without one.
Designed by Adolph Weinman and struck at the Philadelphia Mint.

I wonder if the Stone Mountain medal would be made today? I'm sure the reverse would not be used as it depicts an inaccurate Confederate battle flag. The actual battle flag was square, not rectangular. I doubt the Confederate battle flag would be depicted at all.
Here's two.
Off Center sourced from Denver Mint visitor who asked for an off center.
Error on demand, "please" ?
Exact Press eventually bought by middleman buyer who eventually sold it to Daniel & tonnage trucked back to Colorado & up to Loveland, where it was tuned up, dialed in, gremlins diagnosed.
That same press makes Daniel Carr Moonlight Mint Fantasy Coins.
If an error coin is intentionally made, is it really an error coin?

Silver Award Medal, Square design, 2.625” x 2.625”; H-30-50 (PCGS #804837, Bronze)
1904 St. Louis World’s Fair Medal H-30-50 Bronze Louisiana Purchase Expo (Special Strike).
Louisiana Purchase Expo - St. Louis World's Fair, 1904. "Silver" Award Medal. Bronze, 67.3mm. Square. Allegorical figures of Columbia and Louisiana, rev. Eagle over commemorative tablet, two dolphins below.
This medal is "Raw."
The sculpture will probably be blown up eventually.
fwiw...
This is the one that got me into the Liberty series. I’m sure it looks even better in gold, but I can’t afford that and these look great in silver too. Plus, isn’t the gold one a coin and therefore does not qualify for this thread? 😉
I have the same medal! Absolutely love it.
A nice Kennedy medal from the 2015 Coin and Chronicles set
Struck on site at the Pan-American Exposition at the US Mint Exhibit by the Mint.

This would have been a very large medal to have been struck on exhibit grounds. Was this not produced by Gorham?
Maybe I got fooled by AI.

Considering your first name is Al, that is a bit comical.
