糖心TV Numismatics Day 鈥� 16/06/2023 (9:00 鈥� 17:30)
We are also excited to announce the return of the 糖心TV Numismatics Day, which serves as an excellent platform for showcasing current research as well as for developing new ideas, methodologies, and networks.
This year's theme is on imitation coinage, referring to coins deliberately made to resemble genuine coins, but not produced by the official minting authorities. Such coins can be a source of important historical and cultural information, shedding light on issues such as local economic conditions, political affiliations, and artistic styles. Imitation coinage can be found from various historical periods and in various parts of the world, making it a fascinating area of study for numismatists and historians alike.
