Who will record today’s numismatic history?
July 7, 2026
Every year, hundreds of medals, trade notes, wooden tokens, souvenir notes and other numismatic collectibles are issued across Canada. Many are produced in small quantities, quickly disappearing into private collections before anyone records their existence.
Veteran numismatist Yvon Marquis believes that should concern every collector. While classic references by Breton, Leroux and Courteau preserved the stories behind Canada’s early numismatic treasures, Marquis fears many of today’s issues could be forgotten altogether.
