The official medal for the American Numismatic Association’s 118th Anniversary Convention, August 5-9 in Los Angeles, is now available. Designed by Garrett & Michelle Burke and Alex Shagin, the medal celebrates the convention’s host city and the grandeur of numismatics.
The obverse design showcases the excitement and glamour of Los Angeles. Lights coming from L.A. hills accent images of past commemorative coins honoring California, including the 1936 Bay Bridge half dollar and the 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition $50. At the top, an angel searches for something amidst the lights and coins. The reverse features the same angel, Numisma — sister of Lady Liberty, this time holding a wreath of discovery. The scene brings to life the convention’s theme, "Discover Your Golden Dreams."
