Silver Paris, Maine Bicentennial Commemorative Coins Available!

An anonymous donor entrusted me with 24 all silver commemorative coins struck in celebration of the 200th Paris, Maine bicentennial in 1993.


Each coin depicts the original First Baptist Church/Meetinghouse of Paris engraved on one side and the Billings Mill on the other side. They are in mint condition and presented in a blue velvet case. Each coin is individually numbered and encased in a protective covering. These are the last of the coins available to the public.

The coins are $25.00 each and one hundred percent of the funds raised will benefit the ‘Paris Hill Historical Society’ and the ‘Paris Cape Historical Society’ to help maintain the historical artifacts of our area.


If you are interested in purchasing a commemorative coin please contact Linda Richardson at cozycider@gmail.com. The coins are available until October 1st when they will be returned to the donor. We continue to entertain unique ways to raise funds for our non-profits and give our community a reminder of their support.
