<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2514773, member: 59737&quot;]Here&#039;s what I found:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Medal struck to commemorate 400th anniversary of discovery of Pacific Ocean by Vasco Nuñez de Balboa. Organization almost identical with that of 1909 Festival; city-wide affair, held Oct. 22-25, 1913; out-of-town visitors approximated 1,250,000. Program also similar to prior one except Balboa, instead of Portola, arrived by water through Golden Gate; &quot;thirty-three nations actively participated.&quot; Four-day carnival permitted visitors to inspect work progress on 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition (listed Part I). This was Official Medal; designer and number struck unknown&quot; (<a href="http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Portola_1913_Festival.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Portola_1913_Festival.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Portola_1913_Festival.html</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And this:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Portola Festival was held to commemorate the Portola Expedition of 1769 (which discovered San Francisco Bay) and showcased San Francisco&#039;s revival from the earthquake of 1906&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&amp;td_id=245695&amp;inventory_id=196678&amp;td_image_id=109366&amp;attribution_id=250333&amp;record_offset=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&amp;td_id=245695&amp;inventory_id=196678&amp;td_image_id=109366&amp;attribution_id=250333&amp;record_offset=0" rel="nofollow">http://tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&amp;td_id=245695&amp;inventory_id=196678&amp;td_image_id=109366&amp;attribution_id=250333&amp;record_offset=0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
