Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

A 1906 Italian International Exhibition of Milan Award Medal

Bronze gilt, obverse with the left-facing bust of King Vittorio Emanuele III, inscribed "ESPOSIZIONE INTERNAZIONALE DEL LAVORO" above and "MILANO" below, reverse illustrating a wreath of oak leaves and laurel leaves with the coat-of-arms of the City of Milan at the top and an un-named name plate in the centre, surrounded by the inscription "AGRICOLTURA - INDUSTRIA - MOSTRE RECLAME", 49.5 mm, light contact, near extremely fine. Footnote: The International Exhibition of Milan of 1906 was held from April 28th to November 11th in the halls and buildings specially constructed in the area behind the Castello Sforzesco, the current Sempione Park, and the area then occupied by the Parade Ground. The two areas were connected by an elevated electric railway about seven metres high, approximately 1,700 meters long. The theme chosen was that of transport, in celebration of the Simplon Tunnel which was opened in February of 1905 and where the exhibition took its inspiration. President of the International Exhibition of 1906 was the financier and Milanese banker Cesare Mangili (1850-1917). Thirteen million liras were invested for the occasion, with 225 new buildings constructed, which included the civic aquarium, the only building not demolished and that still exists today. There were forty participating nations, 35,000 exhibitors, with visitors estimated at more than five million, a record for the time. The iconic image of the exhibition, designed by Leopoldo Metlicovitz, celebrated the opening of the trans-alpine Simplon Tunnel, completed a year earlier, the first direct train line between Milan and Paris .
