Metal Magnesium

Likely from the same era as the 1933 Century of Progress Dow Metals HK-473. Promoting the use of magnesium as a metal for the production of coinage. It’s a good thing it was not adopted for coinage, as it deteriorates over time. An interesting off-metal medal. Graded uncirculated but with pester.
