This exhibition had two divisions, Division 1: Inventions and Division 2: Music.

Division 1 had 31 Groups which were broken down into various classes. There was a total of 165 classes for inventions.

Division 2: Music was comprised of groups 32 through 34 and classes 166 through 180.

That means there was a minimum of 180 bronze medals awarded. I don't know if there were any ties...

So they are not rare if someone wanted a medal from this event there are well over 500 out there... then the event is pretty obscure so who is interested? Few people today. So value I wouldn't expect very much over the value of the metal.

Now having said that, if you knew they group, class and invention and recipient and had some other documentation to go with the medal like a letter that went with the award for provenance, as well as the exhibit catalogue you would be much better off because you could then try to find a buyer with an interest in the invention or inventor... like myself.

I am very interested in one of the award winners of a silver medal. I would love to have one of the machines he invented, or any other piece of historical value related to it.
