1970 CNA Annual Convention
The seventeenth annual convention was held in Halifax. The Halifax Coin Club hosted the event from August 5 to August 8. The obverse was designed by A.M. MacDonald and Collins Baugild from a drawing by Cmdr. L.B. Jenson, R.C.N. (Ret.), who was also this year’s Convention banquet speaker. The Convention medal’s obverse shows the H.M.S. Shannon sailing to the right under full sail. The medal was struck by the Wellings Mint of Toronto. Both dies are in the Nova Scotia archives.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by
convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space.”
