Iceland Reykjavík Industrial Exhibition 1977 medal

This bronze commemorative medal marks the Reykjavík Industrial Exhibition (Iðnaðarkynning), held from September 19 to October 2, 1977. Issued as a keepsake for the event, it features a bold, modernist design symbolizing Icelandic industry and progress.

  • Obverse: Stylized geometric logo in the center, composed of interlocking shapes forming an abstract representation of industrial elements (towers, pipes, waves), encircled by the inscription “IÐNAÐARKYNMING REYKJAVÍK 19.9.-2.10.1977” in raised lettering.
  • Reverse: Plain.

The medal is struck in bronze with a rich patina. It reflects 1970s Icelandic optimism in economic and industrial development, often tied to national pride post-independence and during the oil crisis recovery period.

A scarce piece of Icelandic local history and numismatic memorabilia, appealing to collectors of exhibition medals, 1970s bronze issues, or items related to Reykjavík’s industrial heritage.
