Numismatist
(Redirected from Numismatists)
A numismatist is a specialist, researcher, and/or well-informed collector of numismatics/coins ("of coins"; from Late Latin numismatis, genitive of numisma). Numismatists can include collectors, specialist dealers, and scholar-researchers who use coins (and possibly, other currency) in object-based research.[1] Although use of the term numismatics was first recorded in English in 1799,[2] people had been collecting and studying coins long before then all over the world. The branch of numismatics that deals with the study and collection of paper currency and banknotes is called notaphily.[3]
Different kinds of numismatist
[edit | edit source]There are firstly simple collectors, who solely derive pleasure from collecting coins. However, there are also coin dealers, or professional numismatists, who authenticate or grade coins for commercial purposes. The buying and selling of coin collections by numismatists who are professional dealers advances the study of money, and expert numismatists are consulted by historians, museum curators, and archaeologists. See, for example, the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) and the British Numismatic Trade Association (BNTA). There are also scholar numismatists or numismatic researchers working in public collections, universities or as independent scholars acquiring knowledge about monetary devices, their systems, their economy and their historical context.[4] Coins are especially relevant as a source in the pre-modern period, with the likenesses of many ancient and medieval monarchs being known to us only through their depictions on coins.[5] Examples of these different kinds of numismatist include Walter Breen, a noted numismatist who was not an avid collector, and King Farouk I of Egypt, an avid collector[6] who had very little interest in numismatics. Harry Bass by comparison was a noted collector who was also a numismatist.
Training and recognition
[edit | edit source]There are very few academic institutions around the world that offer formal training in numismatics. Some may offer numismatics as part of a course in classical studies, ancient history, history or archaeology. Scholar numismatists may focus on numismatics at the postgraduate level, where the training is more research-based. As a result, most scholar numismatists will approach numismatics from within another academic discipline (e.g. history, archaeology, ancient or modern languages, metal sciences), perhaps after attending a numismatic summer school, usually based where there is an excellent coin collection. Recognition of scholarly numismatic expertise may be in the form of a postgraduate qualification, and/or in the form of a medal awarded by a numismatic society: for example, the Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society, which may be awarded to scholar numismatists of any nationality.

Biographical resources
[edit | edit source]As scholar numismatists work on coins (and related objects) within their particular area of interest (e.g. a particular part of the world, a particular period of history, or a particular culture), they are often known in those fields, as well as in numismatics. Biographical resources relating specifically to numismatists include the following:
