A large bronze medal from the CENTURY OF PROGRESS International Exposition, Chicago, 1933.

I believe that this piece was an award medal. This two and a quarter inch medal shows a relief map of the exposition site, and on the obverse a male figure in very high relief. Dated 1833-1933. About uncirculated except for a bit of roughness on the edge above the word "the" on the reverse. A handsome "Art Deco" medal.
The medal is signed by the well known sculptor and designer Emil Robert Zettler (1878-1946) who was the Head of the Industrial Art Section of Chicago's Art Institute. Zettler apparently designed all the medals for the exposition.
