Coin Details

Description

This 1948 brass token at 26mm diameter, cataloged as TC-13201, commemorates the K.M.T.R.G.S. Centennial in Oregon. The initials refer to a fraternal, civic, or historical organization celebrating its hundredth anniversary in the state of Oregon. The 1948 date places this during the post-World War II era when civic organizations across America experienced a resurgence of membership and activity as returning veterans reintegrated into civilian life. Oregon centennial tokens document the growth of organized community life in the Pacific Northwest during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Token authentication and attribution require familiarity with production methods, die characteristics, and metal compositions specific to different manufacturers and historical periods, skills that develop through sustained collecting experience. The brass composition and 26mm diameter produced a substantial token suitable for either pocket carry or display in a collector's cabinet.
