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.
