Itannicnic - The Cincinnati Numismatic Association

The Cincinnati Numismatic Association's coin club medal says "ONE ITANNICNIC" on it. Does anyone know what it means and it's significance is, aside from being Cincinnati spelled backwards?

Here's my original silver piece.

Cincinnati backwards - nothing more to it.

<< Cincinnati backwards - nothing more to it. >>

Agree. It's just a cute way of coining a new term for a denomination (no pun intended).

Here is a very rare early medal of a city spelled backwards:

Where's Smukilit? Sounds Inuit.

That part isn't backwards. Tilikums.....Indian tribe in the Seattle area.

Here's some info on the Tillikums of Elttaes.

Thanks for the feedback on Itannicnic too.

Perhaps I should have included on of these guys in my previous post --->

Fixed linky.

Some places in the U.S., backwards would not make a difference.... i.e. - Hannah, SC, Semmes, AL, Okonoko, WV, Glenelg, MD, Oktahatko, Fl, and Wassamassaw, SC. Cheers, RickO

I was lucky to be able to add to my One Itannicnic collection today by picking up this pewter die trial from the 75th Anniversary from Ron Landis.

Great to see Ron’s participation in this!

Nice pick up. I was tempted by a few things on his site yesterday but held off. Very tempting though.

coinsarefun · November 12, 2021 6:46PM

I too was thinking to pick it up, but glad it went to someone here.

I own the original set as a member here was kind enough to sell it.
I bought this from Ron a year or so back before the website items came for sale .
I always wondered if he had a few pieces that were die trials because my copper has the same
Die polish lines where the finished sets are super clean looking.

Here’s the set.

If he did one 12 inches across it would be a TITANIC ITANNICNC!

Great pieces Stef!

Love the pieces and observations. I was looking at that copper die trial when it was available well and I'm glad you were able to pick it up!

ITANNICNIC is from the Cincinnati Numismatic Association and we have some members here.

Hopefully they can entertain your suggestion!

PerryHall · November 13, 2021 3:32AM

This is a new one for me. I assume it's pronounced i-tan-nic-nic. Very cool medal.

When I was at Coin World about 90 miles north of there we had one of the originals in house, and one of the old-timers pronounced it "it-ah-nick-nick." Don't know if that was correct or not, but it sounds plausible.

You also have to be a "Sder" fan there.

As a member of the CNA I can attest to this being the correct pronunciation.

Now, find an original with the members name engraved or better yet one of the original gold issues!

I never even seen either an original engraved one or an original gold one! Do you have either? Have you seen either?

BustDMs · November 13, 2021 5:42PM

I think I have an engraved silver somewhere. I’ve seen two gold ones.

It would be great to see a photo if you find it!

Great thread! Is there anywhere to find the modern issues?

Very cool, can we see the other side?
There is a member that might still have some sets. I’ll look through my pm’s and let you know.

We may have a couple sets somewhere. If anyone is interested PM me and I’ll check with the President.

Took me a long time to accumulate these three examples

For me the most beautiful example of a Cincinnati token/medal. I'll take this over the Cincy commem any day!
