This very rare medal was presented to individuals that performed exceptional service to the Philippine Exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Typical recipients were municipal mayors, tribal chiefs, high level officials of the Government of the Philippine Islands, officers of the Philippine Constabulary, and officers of the Philippine Scouts (the Philippine Division of the United States Army). The Medal of Honor was issued in three award levels Bronze, Silver (Silvered Bronze) and Gold (Gilt Bronze). The Gilt Bronze Medal was the highest of the three award levels for this medal.
