Commemorative medal from the Second Arab Exhibition. Jerusalem, 1934.
Obverse: Legend in Arabic – "Commemorating cooperation between the Arab State 1352 (1934)". Reverse: Legend in Arabic – "Commemorating the Arab Exhibition in Jerusalem 1352 (1934)".
The Arab exhibitions were held in the Palace Hotel in Jerusalem, apparently as a counterbalance for the trade shows and exhibitions that were held in Tel Aviv since 1923 and glorified the achievements of the Jewish Yishuv, led by the Levant Fair in 1934.
Diameter: 27 cm. Good condition. Stains.
Provenance: Morton Leventhal Collection, New York.
