Numista Now Has a New Literature Section
Numista, the popular online platform for numismatics, has recently expanded its offerings with an exciting addition: a dedicated section for numismatic literature. Known for its extensive catalogue of coins, banknotes, tokens, and medals, Numista is now venturing into the realms of books, journals, and scholarly articles, providing a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
Numista’s entry on Eduard von Jenner, Die Münzen der Schweiz. When legally possible, like in this case, Numista also offers a download link for the entry
The platform’s new literature section offers a searchable database of publications related to numismatics, ranging from coin catalogues and historical books to academic journals and specialized articles.

Similar to the coin catalogue of Numista, this new section operates under a collaborative model, inviting the community to contribute by submitting new literature entries. Each entry in the catalogue includes essential information such as the title, author(s) and their biographies, publisher(s), year of publication, edition, etc. Additionally, the listings are categorized by topic, for example, coins from Switzerland or French medals from the 19th century. When possible, links for downloading the works are provided, further enriching the resource’s utility.

A particularly innovative feature of the literature section is its integration with Numista’s existing coin catalogue. This integration allows users to seamlessly navigate from a reference number of a coin to the corresponding literary reference, and from that catalogue back to the numismatic objects listed within.
The Section “My bookshelf”.
Moreover, Numista has introduced a personal inventory feature, aptly named “My Bookshelf.” Users can manage and store their books and journal issues online, making it easy to access and reference their personal library.
As Numista continues to evolve, this new literature section marks a significant enhancement, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to supporting numismatic knowledge.
