Doos horende bij een bronzen penning 1904

This small, red box, created by Adolph Alexander Weiman in 1904, is a simple yet intriguing object. The inscription on the box, "Universal Exposition, 1904, Saint Louis," reveals its intended purpose: to hold a bronze coin commemorating the 1904 World's Fair, also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in St. Louis. Weiman, known for his work as a medallist and sculptor, would have designed the box to compliment the commemorative coin, creating a unified and aesthetically pleasing presentation piece.
