A 1928-1930 "First Fly Over the South Pole" Token is a vintage commemorative medal struck to celebrate Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s historic flight over the South Pole on November 29, 1929. Rather than spendable currency, these tokens were produced as souvenirs and distributed widely across the United States to honor the success of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition.
