Yes...I was there when he was presented with his medal early this month. He was unaware but new something was up when his mother came to the club meeting.
It was well deserved, congratulations again Stephen.
On behalf of the 4 Brisbane Coin Clubs (including Redlands and Redcliffe clubs).

well done
and good on Mum for being the number 1 fan!!
Thanks all. It was a surprise to me - they sprung it on me at the July QNS meeting. And it's not easy "springing" something on the club Secretary, since he's supposed to know everything that's going on at the meeting. :blush2:

Congrats too from the NAV and Victorian societies, well deserved.
Um, please, what is the "Paul Simon Award" and what is it awarded for?
Regardless congratulations on the award.

Glad you asked Goldy. Here's the extract from the Numismatic Association of Australia's website:
THE PAUL SIMON MEMORIAL AWARD was established in 1977 by Mrs Jessica Simon, of Ballarat Victoria, in memory of her late husband, Paul Simon. He was an authority on gold coinage of the world and was an enthusiastic collector. Paul Simon was a prominent businessman, a President of the Numismatic Association of Victoria, and a Fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society in London. The award consists of a medallion by Michael Meszaros, struck at the Paris Mint, which depicts a portrait of Paul Simon on the obverse, and a hand holding a coin of Israel on the reverse, together with a certificate.
Purpose of the award
The Award was established to recognize the outstanding contribution by any person in promoting numismatics within organized numismatic organizations in Australia.
:agreed:
Congrats Sap
Thankyou for that, appreciated.
Congratulations
and, when can we see the actual medallion?
Well done Sap, A well deserved award for unselfish commitment to the Numismatic community.
Bloody good on you Mate :yahoo:
Click on the link on the first entry in this topic. The medallion will come up to be seen.
I haven't taken pictures of it yet, but my medal looks just like all the others (though I think they have been struck in several different batches since inception; the toning on mine is distinctly different to early-issued medals I have seen). The winners name and the year of issue are engraved on the edge.
