Thailand - 1966 Asian International Trade Fair Medal
Offered is a very appealing bronze medal issued to commemorate the first International Asian Trade Fair held in Bangkok in 1966. The expo, organized by ECAFE (the UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East) resulted in the creation of a economic promotion agency for the region, and saw the largest number of present member states of any event held within ECAFE up to that point.
The medal itself is visually fascinating, especially the high-relief obverse, which features a globe with Thai deity superimposed. Lustrous and problem-free, this piece is a wonderful example of fine modern medallic art.
