Building upon the progress with Mexico, which came from the 2nd International American Conference, the 3rd took place in Rio de Janeiro and served to further strengthen ties between the United States and her southern neighbors in the hemisphere. On this French-produced medal, Roosevelt is presented similarly to how he was depicted on a 1902 silver medal featuring him along with Prince Heinrich of Prussia.
