The official Boston 2026 World Expo show medal has been unveiled, sponsored by The Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History. The three-inch square medal weighs 4.5 ounces and features the show’s logo on one side and a powerful image of Paul Revere on horseback on his famous midnight ride on the other. A total of 1,300 medals will be produced by The Monterey Company, Inc. of Bend, Oregon.
Coordinating the artistry and production process was David Ball, Boston 2026 Awards Chair and Security Manager. After seeing the creatives produced for Latvia’s PhilLat26 international philatelic exhibition by Aija Pince, a British ex-patriot living in Riga, he convinced her to consider designing the Boston 2026 medal.
As sponsor of the 12th U.S. international exhibition medal, the Spellman’s logo will grace the red presentation boxes lined in blue velvet. Brian Howard, its Executive Director, said, “We are proud to partner with the Boston 2026 World Expo, and are eagerly anticipating the show’s opening this May. I encourage all show visitors to include the Spellman on their list of stops during their time in town.” The Spellman has promoted stamp collecting and philatelic heritage at its home near Boston since 1963. The museum is open all year and welcomes collectors, families, and the general public for exhibits, programs, and special events.
This year, 75 towns and cities will be taking part in the festivities, centred around the theme of street art. This figure is slightly lower than in previous years, due to difficulties in booking venues, as the municipal elections are being held the following week.
