The Century of Progress International Exposition, with a paid attendance of 39,000,,000, was the largest exposition held in the United States as of that date. Also known as the Chicago World’s Fair, it was held in 1933 and 1934. The U.S. Mint had an exhibit where the official medal was struck. Twenty-Five so-called dollars were struck in various compositions for this exposition. The details are cataloged in my 2023 book So-Called Dollars Volume I: United States Expositions.
