Columbian Medal

The Columbian Medal was an award established by the United States to honor individuals who participated in significant events surrounding the exploration and settlement of Colombia, particularly related to the expedition of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1893. It served as a recognition of public service or contributions connected with the Colombian efforts for independence and the subsequent development of the region. Though not widely known today, the medal symbolizes diplomatic relations and historical appreciation of Colombia's role in the broader context of Latin American history.
