On March 15th, 1966, a group of people with an interest in orders and medals gathered at a meeting in Copenhagen. The meeting's purpose was to probe the interest in establishing a phaleristic society. To make a long story short, a founding general meeting was held on April 27th, 1966, marking the birth of the Orders and Medals Society of Denmark (OMSD).
Of course, the 60 years anniversary had to be celebrated, and the result was a well-attended reception at Frederiksberg Palace on April 25th.The reception presented some exhibitions, including a display of books written by members of the Society over the years.Some light refreshments were also served.
Among the guests at the reception was Søren Allesen-Vernø - a founding member and the Society's first vice president.
