The Medals of the Woodstock Coin Club: A Numismatic History of Oxford County!

Many years ago, the slogan for Coin Week Canada was “History in your Hands.” Since its founding in 1957, and particularly since first creating club medals in 1965, the Woodstock Coin Club has been celebrating the history of Woodstock and Oxford County through numismatics.

Buildings, events, and individuals prominent in Oxford history have been, and continue to be, featured in the Club’s medallic issues. This presentation will illustrate the medals and the Club’s commitment to both city and county. Some of the historic coins will be available for sale. Presented by Angus Sutherland, vice-president and chair of the medal committee.

This presentation will take place at the Woodstock Museum, NHS. Doors open at 6:30, meeting starts at 6:45pm. This is a free event and open to all.
