Aleksander Bursche Receives GIG Honorary Prize 2023
Aleksander Bursche is awarded the Honorary Prize of the Gesellschaft für Internationale Geldgeschichte (GIG, Association for International History of Money) in 2023. The prize has been awarded annually since 1974 to “outstanding personalities from Germany and abroad who have not only distinguished themselves in the field of numismatics, but have also been friendly to the interests of collectors”, as it says on the GIG website.

Bursche is a specialist in Roman and barbarian coinage and has recently taken a clear position as an expert in the discussion about the so-called Sponsianus coins.
Bursche will also speak on this topic at the annual general meeting of the GIG. In this context, he will be officially awarded the GIG Honorary Award on 4 June 2023 in the Sonnenmann Hall in the Historical Museum in Frankfurt am Main. Guests are expressly invited to this event, admission is free.
CoinsWeekly warmly congratulates Aleksander Bursche on this honor!
