    The reverse design (on the left) was adapted from a PPIE poster printed in 1914. I forget who designed the poster although the style is similar to John Flanagan's. (See the PPIE Award Medal design by Flanagan.)

    Nice!

    Your collection meaning a Pan Pac medal collection?

    Those 3 inch medals look hugh when you are used to collecting little coins!

    Why was this medal made in 1979 for the 1915 Pan-Pac expo?

    See? I look at tremendous medals such as this one and scratch my head in disbelief that we must all live with the current (lack of) designs offered in our State quarters program.

    You mean to tell me artisans, such as the ones who crafted these medals, are no longer with us in any form?

    Art is not dead in America, despite all numismatic evidence to the contrary. Art is merely dead at the Mint. The Mint needs to hire some Real Artists™ and tell Congress and all their committees to STFU.

    This is just fantastic. It is bronze or gilt is it not?

    The medal is white metal, and the carrying case is made of brass. Pinches made these as a compliment to the Type III HK-8 Crystal Palace So Called Dollar, which they produced as well.
