This is the eighth edition of an international academic conference on coinage and monetary history of Central Europe. Previous editions were held in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Currently organised by the Copper Museum in Legnica, it is scheduled for 16-19 September 2025. Conference marks the 350th anniversary of the Piast Dynasty’s extinction (1675) and the 1000th anniversary of Boleslaus I the Brave’s Coronation (1025). Both of these dates tie together nearly 700 years of the Piast minting tradition. The NC8 conference will be particularly devoted to dynastic coinages in Europe.
The conference proceedings will be published in the series “Sources and Materials for the History of Legnica and the Duchy of Legnica”.
