Bare Oaks Coin

This coin was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary (1972-2012) of the founding of the Toronto Helios Society that eventually became Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. The coin is officially called the Bare Oaks Sestertius.

One side features Bare Oaks’ Nude Family Emblem while the other side displays the International Naturist Federation (INF) logo. The INF was founded in 1953 at the CHM Montalivet in France and is the umbrella organization bringing together the various national naturist federations throughout the world.

They are used by Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park as gifts, rewards or as prizes in the various competitions that occur throughout the year. While the coin does not have an official value, it can be exchanged for various items. (drinks, snacks, ice cream, etc…) Those items vary and the current ‘rate’ of exchange is posted in the store at Bare Oaks.
