1893 Tin Medal – World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago – Italian Columbus Type by Fristrup, Schmahlfeld & Christensen
Obverse:
Columbus at right, placing his hand on a ship's rudder, led by the winged figure of Genius beneath a radiant star. Around: “CHICAGO – 21. OCTBR. 1892 – GUANAHANI – 12. OCTBR. 1492” — referencing the landing in the New World. Designed by N. Fristrup, F. Schmahlfeld, and V. Christensen.
Reverse:
American eagle above a framed cartouche with the inscription:
“ESPOSIZIONE UNIVERSALE / CHICAGO 1893 / IN MEMORIA DELL’ILLUSTRE / NAVIGATORE / CRISTOFORO COLOMBO.”
Beneath: architectural rendering of the Exposition buildings, surrounded by laurel and decorative framing.
Historical context:
This medal was struck for the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. The Italian inscription and the imagery emphasize Columbus’s Genoese heritage. The legend “Guanahani – 12 Oct 1492” refers to the island (renamed San Salvador) where Columbus first made landfall. While most surviving examples are in bronze (see Eglit-37), this is a tin variant, struck in lower relief and likely intended for popular or more affordable distribution during the exposition.
