Waterloo Coin Society Medals

Since its founding in 1959, the Waterloo Coin Society has issued a wide variety of medals, both in our own right and in conjunction with other organizations.

This page is a work-in-progress and is by no means exhaustive. Efforts are ongoing to continue adding to this page. If you have any authoritative information that appears to be missing, please contact the club secretary.
