Metallurgy in Numismatics 5
Numismatic Chronicle 172 213 METALLURGY IN NUMISMATICS 5 NC EDITORS’ NOTE THE RNS held a conference at the Society of Antiquaries in London on 14-16th September 2000 entitled ‘Counterfeiting: Ancient and Modern’. It was the intention to publish the contributors’ papers as the fifth monograph on metallurgy in numismatics within the Special Publications series. For various reasons the publishing project was beset by delays, and, given the timescale, several of the papers were either withdrawn or not considered suitable for publication. Eventually eight papers remained, but their combined length was insufficient to justify publication in monograph form. It was therefore decided that MIN 5 should be published as a separate enclave within NC 2012. The eight papers which follow were edited by M.R. COWELL and J. ORNA-ORNSTEIN, with support from D.R. HOOK and G. WILLIAMS.

Original Research Article: (2018), «EUREKA: Social and Humanities» full paper Number 4 DETERMINANT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRECIOUS METALS MARKET AND PECULIARITIES OF INVESTMENTS IN PRECIOUS METALS Oleksandr Ksenzhuk Department of International Economics Ternopil National Economic University 11 Lvivska str., Ternopil, Ukraine, 46020 [email protected] Abstract It is argued that precious metals function as an attractive investment means for hedging in the period of appearing high li- quidity risks of other financial assets. There was revealed the rationality of using precious metals not only for protecting from high risks and also for profit making. It was established, that favoring the development of the market of precious metals improves the financial-investment climate of a country. Precious metals function as a valuable asset that improves the credit trust level and prevent crises of efficiency, liquidity and default. There is grounded the influence of globalization on functioning of the world market of precious metals and their investment attractiveness. Factors that influence the development of the precious metals market are deter- mined. The role of price formation in functioning and stability of the precious metals market is determined. There was argued, that the mechanism of price formation – is a multi-factor process; precious metals are indicators of the general state of world economy: gold draws the greatest attention of investment-seeking economic agents; platinum price indicates the state of economic and financial processes to the date; silver and palladium are found to be not elastic and highly dependent of demand created by industrial economic entities; gold is regarded as the financial asset of the highest liquidity level in the structure of gold and currency reserves across countries worldwide, ten countries keep leading positions, most of them demonstrate stable indices. -

The Minting of Platinum Roubles PART IV: PLATINUM ROUBLES AS an ARCHIVE for the HISTORY of PLATINUM PRODUCTION
DOI: 10.1595/147106706X128890 The Minting of Platinum Roubles PART IV: PLATINUM ROUBLES AS AN ARCHIVE FOR THE HISTORY OF PLATINUM PRODUCTION By Thilo Rehren Institute of Archaeology, University College London, London WC1H 0PY; E-mail: [email protected] This paper augments a series of articles on Russian roubles in this Journal (1–3) with a summary of recent research into the manufacturing history and materials characterisation of these coins. The results are not only significant for the identification of genuine roubles issued between 1828 and 1845, ‘Novodel’issues produced in the late 19th century, and outright forgeries of the 20th century, but offer a fascinating insight into the difficulties encountered at the time in the large-scale refining and processing of platinum metal. A range of instrumental methods have been used to elucidate the magnetic properties, chemical composition and low density of genuine roubles, and to reveal their complex internal structure. The resulting new insights into the historical practice of platinum metallurgy are unbiased by concerns about industrial espionage, state secrets, and professional rivalry. The first half of the 19th century was a crucial respectively. Large-scale platinum ore processing period in the discovery and metallurgical study of began following the decision in April 1828 to issue platinum and its allied metals, iridium, osmium, platinum roubles. This was done at the Royal Mint palladium, rhodium and ruthenium. Only platinum in St. Petersburg, supervised by General was known in 1800, but all six were known by 1844 Sobolevsky.

Coin Auction 17
COIN AUCTION SATURDAY 9 NOVEMBER 2019 Svartensgatan 6, Stockholm MYNTKOMPANIET Svartensgatan 6, 116 20 Stockholm, Sweden Tel. +46 (0)8-640 09 78 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.myntkompaniet.se/auktion Preface Welcome to our Autumn sale! It is with pleasure we present our 17th numismatic auction on Saturday 9th of November; this time followed by a small coin fair in our offices on Sunday 10th of November. We hope to make this a recurring event if there is demand among collectors and dealers. The Swedish section of the auction features a connoisseur's collection of plate money, carefully selected for either rarity or condition. Conditional rarities include 2 daler 1674 - the finest 17th Century Plate Money we have seen, as well as an outstanding uncirculated example of 1/2 daler 1710. The collection shows a wide range of early plates including many that have not been offered for public sale in decades. This offering presents a good opportunity for both the general and advanced collectors. We are also very excited to offer a rare Åbo klippe 8 öre 1557 that we believe is the first time offered in auction since the Ekström collection was sold in the 1970's. Ancient and World coins are well represented with a significant section of Norway, an unusually large group of Ancient aurei and silver coins. There are many group lots and collections that warrant close inspections. We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm, or participation by other means.
