The Numismatic Society of Nottinghamshire (NSN) was founded in 1948, with the aim of bringing local coin collectors together through the study and appreciation of all areas of numismatics, including coins, notes, tokens and medallions. The society is a registered charity (No.512243), and is affiliated to the British Association of Numismatic Societies (BANS) who have their own website at www.coinclubs.freeserve.co.uk

President: Graham White

Past President: Mark T. Ray

Secretary: Grenville Chamberlain

This medallion was struck to commemorate the golden jubilee of the society. Based on a civil war siege piece of Newark, Nottinghamshire, it was struck from hand-engraved dies by Dave Greenhalgh (a.k.a. Grunal the moneyer) in 0.950 silver and was limited to 50 examples.

Meetings are normally held the SECOND TUESDAY of each month in central Nottingham, with our year starting in September. We meet monthly from September through to April, and have a society dinner in May. The AGM is held in July, therefore there are no meetings in June and August. The annual subscription is a mere £5.00 per person.

We meet in the Cecil Roberts room on the first floor of the central library on Angel Row, Nottingham.NG1 6HP. Lift access is available. Meetings start at 6.45pm
