Come to think of it
Are these raids changing the debate on cultural property protection?
It is a terrible thought: irreplaceable cultural assets are destroyed so that their components can be sold. This brings home to us that cultural assets have not only historical value, but also material value. Could this realisation change the debate on the protection of cultural assets?

Another million result: How is numismatics portrayed in the daily media?
There was a buzz in the media: NAC achieved 1.9 million Swiss francs for a 100 ducat coin in Zurich. Great publicity for numismatics? Or are we conveying a false image of coin collectors with these record results?

Carl Theodor in Bavaria: The Old Nobility Takes Up a New Role
In the context of Künker’s phaleristic sale at the end of October, the Osnabrück auction house will present orders from the estate of Carl Theodor Duke in Bavaria.

Saint George is one of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. He is venerated by both Catholic and Orthodox Christians, the Druze and even Muslims. What do we know about this saint? Did he even exist? And why are there so many coins depicting him?

What is money?
What exactly is money? It seems obvious. There are coins, banknotes, credit cards – wait, a credit card isn’t money, it’s just a means of transferring money, just like a cheque or an early modern bill of exchange. So what is it then? What functions must money fulfil in order to function as money?
