Coin Details

Description

This 1977 bronze medal commemorates the 60th Convention of the California State Numismatic Association, held in San Francisco. The C.S.N.A.'s diamond jubilee convention in San Francisco returned the organization to one of its spiritual homes, a city whose numismatic heritage stretches back to the Gold Rush and the establishment of the San Francisco Mint. Sixty years of annual conventions represented an extraordinary record of continuous organizational activity, spanning from the era of World War I through the Bicentennial period. The bronze composition was standard for C.S.N.A. convention medals, providing a durable and affordable souvenir for attendees. The San Francisco venue added luster to the milestone convention, as the city's coin shops, auction houses, and proximity to the San Francisco Mint gave the gathering a special resonance for numismatic enthusiasts. The C.S.N.A. 60th convention medal documents the organization's enduring role as California's premier statewide numismatic body, serving a collector community that by 1977 was among the largest and most sophisticated in the nation.
