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?

A Coin on a Coin: Luxembourg to Resurrect the “Feierstëppler”

The Grand Duchy honours its past as a centre of the steel industry with a new 2-euro commemorative coin bearing the unwieldy title “100th anniversary of the Grand Ducal decree on the issue of the ‘Feierstëppler’”.

Coins and Medals of the Popes: Representatives of the Catholic Church

Since the 16th century, people throughout Europe have collected coins and medals of the popes. Papal issues were often intended to be collectibles rather than a means of payment. Künker presents a little introduction to this fascinating subject.

The authentic piece from the past: the “Feierstëppler” could be found in circulation in Luxembourg for more than half a century. Photo: Wieschowski
