The Honorable Jet Bussemaker Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap Rijnstraat 50 NL-2515 XP Den Haag The Netherlands

June 18, 2014

Madam Minister,

I am writing to express my concern and that of the International Numismatic Council about the closing of the Geldmuseum in Utrecht and the layoff of most of the professional staff.

We are aware that the collections have been transferred to the Central Bank of the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The privatization of national collections without a popular consensus, however, greatly endangers the cultural heritage of the country involved. The creation of the Geldmuseum itself in 2004 was already the result of the merging of the three most important numismatic collections of the Netherlands: the Rijksmuseum, the Royal Coin Cabinet, founded in 1816, with a collection of 200,000 objects, the Dutch Mint Museum, with a collection of 60,000 objects and the numismatic collection of the Dutch Central Bank, with 140,000 objects. This was no doubt due to economic problems. But numismatic collections play a crucial role in education at all levels, from kindergarten to post doctorate studies. Children can learn the history of their country and that of many others through coins and related monetary objects. Coins are often the only documents of material culture for ancient cities and kingdoms. The collection of the Rijksmuseum is one of the famous royal collections of the world, though its size is modest. It should be available not only to scholars but to the general public. Such national treasures cannot be considered secondary or dispensable.

In addition collections need to be taken care of and the Gelmuseum had an outstanding staff of knowledgeable curators, specialists in their field, who now have lost their job. It seems shortsighted to suppress “small” institutions in an economic crisis. The cultural consequences can only be detrimental.

We feel compelled to urge you if at all possible to restore the Royal numismatic collection of the Netherlands as a center of research and an educational museum with the necessary staff.

Respectfully yours,

Carmen Arnold-Biucchi President of the INC Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art Harvard Art Museums 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138

The venue for the academic debates –the very old Russian town and first residence of the legendary prince Rurik – Staraya Ladoga – contributed to this selection. Altogether 32 people from 5 countries – Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Belgium and Lithuania – participated in the conference and presented 33 papers. There were 7 Candidates of Science and Doctors of Science and as many employees of public museums (State Hermitage, Kurskiy, Smolensky, Staro-Ladozhskiy and Mogilevskiy), 2 numismatic experts certified by the Ministry of Culture and quite a number of numismatists among them who summarily had produced more than 2000 papers on history and related subjects.

The New Landscape of Ancient Numismatics Towards an Online Typology of Greek Coinage At the Bibliothèque nationale de France on 25th-26th April 2014, a pair of meetings took place to survey the current state of development of digital applications for ancient numismatics. Representatives were present from 10 countries, 12 coin collections, 14 major numismatic projects, as well as members of the International Numismatic Council. The Roman World and ‘Linked Data’

The morning of the first day was devoted to resources Frédérique Duyrat and Andrew Meadows currently being developed within the Roman field. Projects represented ranged from type corpora (Roman Imperial The ‘Greek’ world: building a Typology Coinage, Online Roman Republican Coinage, Online Thus far, the world of ‘Greek’ numismatics has seen much Coinage of the Roman Empire, Roman Provincial Coinage) slower progress in the move to towards the creation of and hoard corpora (Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire digital tools. In part, no doubt, this is due to the disparate Project, Coin Hoards of the Roman Republic) to finds nature of Greek numismatics, a field which covers regions projects (Portable Antiquities Scheme, European Coin Spain to the Hindu Kush, from the Balkans to North Africa, Finds Network). and the period from c. 650 to 31 BC. And the problem is The thread that runs through the majority of these projects not new, nor confined to the digital sphere. A need has long is their adoption of Linked Data principles that allow for been felt, for example, for a Typology that can provide us the close interlinking of different resources through the use with a reference work for this vast mass of coinage, but the of common vocabularies. ‘Linked Data’ is a term coined various attempts to create one in print in Germany, France by Tim Berners-Lee and now widely used to describe a and Britain have all foundered under the weight of the task. specific method of using the World Wide Web to connect The second day of the meeting was devoted, therefore, to related data. More specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked the questions of how far the discipline of Greek numismatics Data as “a method of publishing structured data so that is currently digitised, what tools and resources must be it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds created for a Typology to be possible online, and what upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and lessons could be learnt from the recent successes in the URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for field of Roman numismatics. human readers, it extends them to share information in a There is, of course, no need to explain the need for a way that can be read automatically by computers. This Typology of Greek coinage. The utility of such a project is enables data from different sources to be connected and amply brought home by parallel works in the fields of Roman queried.” The Resource Description Framework (RDF) numismatics. Roman Republican Coinage (RRC), Roman allows us to construct meaningful statements about Imperial Coinage (RIC), and Roman Provincial Coinage things on the web that can be read by both machines and (RPC) are fundamental tools that an entire discipline relies humans. However, to construct such statements about upon on a daily basis. The classification of coinage by type numismatic material, we need a ‘language’ suitable for allows us to refer unambiguously to a particular issue of conveying numismatic concepts. a particular mint. Such references are vital to us whether we are cataloguing collections, publishing hoards or The afternoon of the first day was thus devoted to the need identifying site finds. The Typology is a fundamental part for such a ‘language’, and the role of a project established of the apparatus of the study of the ancient world, not just to perform precisely that function: nomisma.org. In fact, for numismatists, but for archaeologists and historians too. a number of the projects demonstrated in the morning The type corpora are also, in all probability, the first works were already employing elements of the nomisma.org of numismatic scholarship to which the non-specialist will vocabulary, and it was generally agreed that this project turn, either to situate an individual specimen within its currently represents the most advanced attempt to create a broader numismatic context, or to obtain a full overview of numismatic vocabulary for use in Linked Data approaches the coinage of a particular place or period. to numismatics. As a result of the meeting, therefore, the INC has voted to grant patronage to the nomisma.org We badly need the Typology, and the clear lesson from project, in that hope that it may provide a widely accepted the recent successes in the Roman field is that, with the resource for numismatic projects online. onward march of technology, it is now possible to consider undertaking this project digitally, with all the advantages The whole first day painted a broad panorama of the that this approach brings. For some of us, born in the age extraordinary work that is now being undertaken in the of books and paper, and still firmly committed to print field of Roman numismatics. Moreover, it demonstrated publication, this may sound a daunting proposition, or at how different projects can maintain their autonomy and least a puzzling one. It is important, therefore, to lay out working practices, while at the same time producing data the methods and advantages of a digital project built on that can be linked to produce exciting new tools. the principles of Linked Data, and this was a major focus of the second day of the meeting.

International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 12 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 13 The day began by taking stock of the current state of digitisation of the major collections represented at the meeting: Presentations were made or sent in by the cabinets in Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Harvard, London, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, New York, Paris and Vienna. It emerged that only four of these collections have the whole of their collection digitally catalogued, and only two of those have digital images to go with all of their catalogue records. The second part of the meeting took a look at what other resources were currently available online in the field of Greek numismatics, and what more must be built in order to make a Typology possible. Presentations were made of two projects currently under way to develop online corpora for specific regions. Ulrike Peter presented the Berlin-

Brandenburg Academy’s project to create a Typology Rick Witchonke for Thrace (Corpus Nummorum Thracorum) on the basis of the material collected by the Griechisches Münzwerk possibility. Online publication brings with it the possibility project. Evi Markou spoke about the project she is about of simultaneous publication in multiple languages. Online to begin to produce the Typology of the silver coinage Coinage of the Roman Empire, a web version of the RIC of Cyprus (The Silver Coinage of the Kings of Cyprus). project, has now been released with a search interface Andrew Meadows gave a brief demonstration of the project available in eleven languages, in contrast to the original to create an online version of the Inventory of Greek Coin volumes, which are only available in English.

Standardisation of approach may take place as authors The third part of the day focused on the nature of a digital work together, rather than through a time-consuming Typology, drawing on the lessons learnt from the Roman editorial process at the end. And one author need not wait projects and the advantages of pursuing the project as a for another’s work to be ready before seeing publication of digital enterprise.

And finally, on what resources can Online Greek Coinage draw for the specimens it will include? It is clearly necessary to set boundaries, so that accounts of types may achieve completion. This, for example, is the principle followed by Roman Provincial Coinage in its use of ‘Core Collections’. But for the Greek world such collections cannot be relied upon alone. It was proposed that a set of Core Collections must certainly be agreed upon, and that these should be consulted concerning their participation; but it was also agreed that more would be necessary. The hoard record must be completely absorbed; excavation coins will be crucial for the proper inclusion of bronze coinage; and the huge number of coins that have appeared in commerce Ulrike Peter cannot be ignored.

It goes on to explore more extensively the iconography of the series of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus issued from 1961 to 1997, pivoting around the environment, History and Folk Art of Cyprus. The aim is to open up routes connecting the iconography of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus to items from the Collections of the Cultural Foundation, namely the Ethnographic Collection, the Numismatic Collection, the Map Collection, the Collection of Manuscripts and Rare Books, and the Collection of Engravings, Old Photographs and Watercolours. ‘Kitchener’s dream’, cast iron medal by Hans Lindl, Germany, 1915, 82 x 53 mm.

The series of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus issued from 1961 to 1997 draw their themes from the island’s rich history and art, as well as from its natural environment. The texts accompanying the representations on the banknotes are intended to bring out the island’s historical and artistic background, the wealth of its fauna and flora, unique on several occasions, as well as the mineral riches of our homeland. The banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus were in circulation until the euro banknotes were introduced in 2008. The exhibition texts are in Greek and in English and it is also accompanied by a catalogue under the same title, again in Greek and in English.

Guatemala, Order of the Quetzal Further information is available from Princeton’s Curator of Numismatics, Alan Stahl, [email protected], (609) 258-9127. The exhibition is based on the collection assembled by Robert L. Ross, a retired investment banker who worked throughout his career to improve living standards in Latin America as the best way to promote democratic rule and civil society. Ross has donated his medals to the Princeton University Numismatic Collection for study, research, and teaching purposes in support of the University’s Program in Latin American Studies. This gift has made Princeton’s holdings the world’s most comprehensive collection of Latin American orders and medals. “From a Thankful Nation” traces the development of Latin American medals from their origins in the emblems of medieval crusading knights and the Spanish, Portuguese, and French royal and imperial orders through the revolutionary battles and the building of republics throughout the region. The use of medals as part of the governing strategies of dictatorial caudillos and adventuring “filibusters” is illustrated by such pieces as the pearl-adorned example of the Grand Cross badge of the Juan Pablo Duarte Order of the Dominican Republic that the dictator Rafael Trujillo, as grand master of the order, awarded to himself. While tracing the awards to common soldiers and laborers, the exhibition is most eye-catching with the display of no fewer than ten examples of Collars, the highest grade

Die großen Münzkabinette in Wien, München und Dresden haben sich zu einer Ausstellung zusammengeschlossen, welche erstmals ausgewählte Stücke der deutschen Porträtmedaille der Renaissance vereinigt. Reproduzierbar, leicht transportabel und verteilbar, liefert die Kunstgattung der Porträtmedaille für das 16. Jahrhundert ein einzigartiges “Who’s who“. Dank der Dauerhaftigkeit des Materials hat sich eine große Anzahl an Medaillen erhalten, insbesondere aus den ehemals kaiserlichen und fürstlichen Sammlungen in Wien, München und Dresden.

Erst 1984 hat er, der sich selbst einmal als frühen Neuzeit vor. “Hauer und Stecher” bezeichnete, durch einen Auftrag zu dieser kleinen Sonderform des Reliefs gefunden. Seitdem reizt ihn das “Wechselspiel zwischen Miniatur und Monument”, wie er es selbst genannt hat, und so entstanden auch raumgreifende Monumente auf der Grundlage von Medaillen wie der Ludwig-Erhard- Brunnen in Bad Godesberg. Ebenso reizt den Künstler das Wechselspiel von Bild und Schrift in der Form einer prägnanten, in eine kalligraphische Form gebrachten sprachlichen Aussage. Die Ausstellung zeigt berühmte und andere Köpfe, darunter eine neu entstandene monumentale Reliefwand mit Porträts und Zitaten von Schriftstellern. Weitere Arbeiten runden die Ausstellung ab, so Kupferstiche, die chinesische Dichtung ins Bild setzen, plastische Werke mit der Darstellung von größeren Menschengruppen, und Medaillen, die Zitate und Sprichwörter in eine adäquate reliefplastische Form bringen.

La possibilité de travailler sur la collection du Cabinet des médailles, que je lui avais fait connaître, a mené à son ouvrage de référence, A type corpus of the Syro- Phoenician tetradrachms and their fractions from 57 BC to AD 253 (CNG, Lancaster et Londres, 2000). La base de données impressionnante qu’il nourrissait constamment était à la disposition des chercheurs et j’ai une dette immense envers lui, car, sans cet outil, je n’aurais pas pu réaliser d’étude de coins des tétradrachmes de Trajan et d’Hadrien frappés en Cilicie et à Antioche pour le Roman Provincial Coinage III (à paraître, 2015). Michel pestait volontiers contre la lenteur des scientifiques à publier leur matériel et son grand regret est de n’avoir jamais pu avoir accès au trésor de Mampsis, découvert en 1966, fort de 10321 pièces, dont 8275 tétradrachmes, pour la plupart sévériens. Mais force est de constater qu’il avait raison, car près de 50 ans après, cette publication n’a toujours pas vu le jour ! La mise en ligne par cgb.fr de cette base sera un bel hommage à sa mémoire.
