HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Hanover Township is pleased to announce the availability of commemorative medallions and coins in celebration of Whippany’s 350th anniversary. Spearheaded by Committeeman Ronald F. Francioli, Committeeman Brian J. Cahill, and the Landmark Commission, these collectibles mark a significant milestone in the community’s history and are available for purchase by Township residents.

Commemorative Medallion:
The medallion is limited-edition, with only 150 produced. It is 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 3/16 inch thick with a lustrous antique bronze finish. The front of the die-struck medallion features a raised Township of Hanover seal, while the reverse is inscribed, “Celebrating its 350th Anniversary, 1676 – 2026.” The medallion’s edge is engraved with Committeeman Francioli’s initials, “RFF,” along with its unique number in the limited series. Each medallion is presented in a quality yellow-and-red felt-lined gift box.

Commemorative Coin:
The commemorative coin is a smaller, die-struck collectible. It is approximately the size of a United States half dollar and features an antique nickel-silver finish. Like the medallion, the coin is adorned with the Township seal on one side and the inscription “Celebrating its 350th Anniversary, 1676 – 2026” on the other. Each coin is packaged in a protective plastic sleeve that includes information about the veteran-owned small business that produced the collectibles.
