Coin Details
Description
This 40mm silver medal produced in 1962 by Medallic Art Company of New York commemorates the 25th anniversary of the San Diego Numismatic Society (S.D.N.S.). Founded in approximately 1937, the San Diego Numismatic Society has served the coin collecting community of Southern California for decades. Silver anniversary medals for numismatic organizations combine two collecting interests β medals and the history of numismatic organizations β making them particularly appealing to specialized collectors. The 40mm diameter and silver composition indicate a premium anniversary piece produced for distribution to society members and numismatic dignitaries attending the celebration. Medallic Art Company regularly produced anniversary medals for numismatic clubs and societies across the country, and these commissions reflected the close relationship between the nation's premier medal manufacturer and the collecting community that appreciated its products most deeply. The twenty-fifth anniversary of a numismatic society, while not as dramatic as a centennial, represented a meaningful milestone of organizational continuity and collector fellowship in the San Diego numismatic community.
