New pickup.

 

 

Official brass medal of the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition held at Omaha, Nebraska in 1898.

The obverse features a left facing female bust. The reverse offers a superb depiction of a plains Indian mounted on a

bareback pony spearing a bison (buffalo). The dies for the obverse of this medal were sculpted at the United States Mint at Philadelphia.

The reverse was designed by T.R. Kimball of Omaha, Nebraska.

I agree. Doing Ebay searches for Mississippi-related medals and tokens, I frequently run across these. Many look like they have been carried as pocket pieces, or otherwise abused. Yours is a nice piece!
