We are the national organisation which represents numismatic societies throughout the United Kingdom and we were founded in 1953. What do we do? We promote the study of numismatics by bringing these societies and their members together to share and increase their interest and expertise in coins, tokens, medals of all types and paper currency. Whodowerepresent? Currently we have 39 affiliated societies: Banbury & District, Bath & Bristol, Bexley, Birmingham, British (London), Cambridgeshire, Cleveland (Middlesbrough), Crewe & District, Derbyshire, Devon & Exeter, Essex (Chelmsford), Havering, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Ireland (Belfast and Dublin), Kent (Maidstone), Kingston-on-Thames, Lancashire & Cheshire (Manchester), London, Mid-Lanark, Norwich, Northampton, Nottinghamshire (Nottingham), Ormskirk & West Lancashire, Oxford, Oxford Phoenix (University), Plymouth, Reading, Romsey, Royal (London), St Albans & Hertfordshire, Southampton & District, South-East Hampshire (Havant), South Manchester (Heaton Norris), South Wales & Monmouthshire (Newport), Tyneside, Wessex (Bournemouth), Worthing & District and Yorkshire (Leeds).

The Congress will be staged in Southport in 2011 and Bournemouth in 2012. Our Autumn Weekend, normally held in September at a college of further education, is a more informal gathering with a specifically educational programme. How can I find out more? Simply log onto our website and we will put you in touch with your nearest numismatic society.

  • Medieval Bibliography
    American Numismatic Society, Summer Graduate Seminar MEDIEVAL NUMISMATIC REFERENCES Robert Wilson Hoge Literature covering the numismatics of the European Middle Ages is vast and disparate. Numerous useful bibliographical sources exist, but finding relevant citations can be challenging. The attached selections provide merely an introduction and partial overview to materials in several areas, along with some observations. They are by no means exhaustive. Frequently encountered acronyms are listed as they occur in alphabetical sequence in place of the authors’ names. Emphasis has been laid on the more general works rather than the extensive specialized literature in periodical sources. Early Medieval and General (BMC) Wroth, Warwick. 1911. Catalogue of the coins of the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Lombards, and of the empires of Thessalonica, Nicaea and Trebizond in the British Museum. London: the Trustees of the British Museum. Very important, a basic collection, although much new information has been learned during the past 100 years. Chautard, Jules Marie Augustin. 1871. Imitations des monnaies au type esterlin frappés en Europe pendant le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle. Nancy: Impression de l'Académie de Stanislas. This work is “ancient” but has not been superceded. Engel, Arthur, and Raymond Serrure. 1891-1905. Traité de numismatique du moyen âge. 3 vols. Paris: E. Leroux. A general introductory handbook on the subject, standard. Grierson, Philip. 1976. Monnaies du Moyen Age. Fribourg: Office du Livre. Grierson, P. 1991. Coins of Medieval Europe. London. These two works (the latter a shorter, English version of the former) constitute an excellent introduction. Grierson was the international “grand master” of Medieval numismatics. Ilisch, Peter.

  • Philip Grierson Among Belgian Historians and Numismatists
    Peter SPUFFORD PHILIP GRIERSON AMONG BELGIAN HISTORIANS AND NUMISMATISTS hilip grierson was born on 15 november 1910 and spent his early years in the countryside of southern Ireland, then part of the United P Kingdom, where his father, previously a government land-surveyor, was running a small farm. His rural childhood came to an end when his father, a trained accountant, moved to Dublin and embarked on a business career. Philip later regretted that so much of his life had been exclusively urban. A﬇er mediocre local schools in Ireland he was sent to Marlborough, a prestigious boarding school in southern England, and from there took the entrance examination to the University of Cambridge and secured a place at Gonville and Caius College, which was to be his home for the rest of his long life. He was a devout young man, brought up in a somewhat rigid protestant tradition of churchmanship, and regularly read the lessons in his home church, but at some point he was to lose his faith. When the young Philip Grierson arrived in Cambridge from Dublin in 1929 the work of compiling the Cambridge Medieval History was still in ﬔll swing. ﬈e final three volumes were to come out in 1929, 1932 and 1936, under the editorship of Charles Previté-Orton and Zachary Brooke, who were to hold the chair of Medieval History in turn, and were to be his men- tors in Cambidge, along with Michael Oakeshott and George Coulton. It was to be this vast multi-national compilation which provided the background to Philip Grierson’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the political history of medieval Europe.
