2001 Bronze Medal 110th A.N.A. Convention

Coin Details

Description

This bronze medal was struck for the American Numismatic Association's 110th Anniversary Convention, held August 8-11, 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia. The ANA has produced official convention medals since the nineteenth century, creating a collectible sub-series that documents the organization's annual gatherings and the host cities that welcome them. The Atlanta convention featured competitive exhibits, educational seminars, a major bourse, and the presentation of the ANA's highest honors including the Medal of Merit and Literary Awards. Convention medals serve as tangible souvenirs linking collectors to a specific time and place in the hobby's history, and the annual designs often incorporate imagery relevant to the host city or a numismatic theme. The ANA, founded in 1891 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, is the largest numismatic organization in the world, with tens of thousands of members including collectors, dealers, and institutions. Its annual convention, now branded the World's Fair of Money, remains the premier gathering of the American numismatic community.
