Family Provenance & Theme

This piece carries some wonderful family history with it. My father and uncle (from Portland, Oregon) attended the Spokane Exposition firsthand; and together, as young men in 1974, they brought this very token home with them as a keepsake. It has remained tucked safely away in our family collection for over fifty years.  As the inheritor of this token, however, I feel the time has finally come to downsize my coinage collection -- and thus the nature of this eBay listing.

The Environmental Message: The medallion proudly bears the fair's official historic slogan: "Celebrating Tomorrow's Fresh New Environment." A stellar addition for collectors of World's Fair memorabilia, Pacific Northwest history, or vintage exonumia.
