The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 22, May 28, 2000, Article 6 WASHINGTONIANA Another nomenclature debate around the hobby surrounds the proper term for medals, tokens, and other numismatic items depicting or relating to George Washington. In the May 15, 2000 issue of The Coin Collector, Q. David Bowers writes: "The preference of "Washingtonia" (this being the modern term for Washington collectibles) over the traditional "Washingtoniana" (used in the 19th century by the likes of W. Elliot Woodward, Joel Munsell, Franklin B. Hough, et. al.) seems to be fading, perhaps at least in part due to the comments made at the "Washingtonia" conference held by the American Numismatic Society in New York last November." Citing comments by David T. Alexander and George Fuld, Bowers states that "for the meantime it will be "Washingtoniana" in our catalogues."
