WILLCOX, AZ CENTENNIAL MEDAL ISSUEDJeff Starck of Coin World writes: A local newspaper reports about a centennial medal just issued for Willcox, Arizona. Thoughtfully, organizers held a design contest among students. Things like this are great ways to get younger people thinking about the hobby in an approachable, fun way. The first Commemorative Coin commissioned by the City of Willcox recognizes the city’s 100 years of incorporation, 1915 to 2015. The coin is available for $5 at the Friendly Book Store, Chiricahua Regional Museum and at City Hall (the Historic Depot). The design on the back of the coin represents agriculture, ranching and railroads and was designed by Kaycee Forsyth, who won a contest between eight designs submitted by students of Karina Stanger’s Art Class.
Thanks. These "challenge coin" style medals come in endless varieties and I don't envy the task of future catalogers. I
don't attempt to document all I come across, but do publish those readrs send in. If any catch your eye, let us know. -Editor
