Description
American-Canadian Numismatic Association relief mold, plaster and, iron rods. Stained from the shellac used to seal the mold. Inscribed on the mold is "American Canadian Numismatic Association".
This bas-relief was created in 1962 for the first annual joint convention of the Numismatic Associations of Canada and the United States. The joining symbols are the maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada and the eagle, the national symbol of the United States. It is the "obverse" (face) of the commemorative coin that was struck for the annual convention. The "reverse" (back) contains the symbol of the city of Detroit, the Spirit of Detroit.
The word, 'numismatic' is derived from the French, 'numismatique,' and is defined as the study or collecting of coins or medals.
The American Numismatic Association was founded in Chicago in 1891 and is now headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. The Canadian Numismatic Association was founded in 1950.
