Near TOP POP, finest is two in MS 65. This medal is rare for two reasons, there is no clamp and it has never been clamped, most have a removed clamp. Also this is an unlisted reverse variety with a “water” at the bottom of the design. The Maryland State Official medal for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Extremely high relief of Columbus on the obverse, with an eagle above his bust. Water scene on the reverse at the bottom with turtles crawling out on either side.
