1962 CNA Annual Convention
The ninth annual convention marked the first and only time that the C.N.A. held its convention outside of Canada. In conjunction with the American Numismatic Association, the Convention took place at Detroit’s Sheridan-Cadillac Hotel from August 15 to 18, 1962. The Detroit Coin Club hosted the event. The Convention medal was designed by Marshall M. Fredericks, a noted Detroit sculptor. The obverse depicts a device, half maple leaf and half eagle, symbolic of the two associations. The reverse depicts the “Spirit of Detroit”, a sculpture by Mr. Fredericks.

Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or convention:
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”
—United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
