Item Description
Beautiful W&H 1.75" design featuring realistic color portraits on gold circles of 12 world leaders. Center text reads "Souvenir/Exposition Universelle/Paris 1900/Ingersoll & Bro./New York, U.S.A." Of the three women, we recognize Queen Victoria. Among the 9 men are President McKinley, Czar Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm and Leopold II of Belgium. Curiously, backpaper text lists 3 W&H patent dates but not the company name. N. Mint and the only example known to us.
