Nick Vaneerdewegh is the New Conservator of the Brussels Coin Cabinet
As of 19 August 2024, Nick Vaneerdewegh has been appointed the new conservator of the Brussels Coin Cabinet, part of the Royal Library of Belgium, which houses one of the finest public numismatic collections in the world.
Nick Vaneerdewegh.
With a background in ancient history and economics, he worked as a researcher on the economy of Hellenistic Egypt for several years at the Ancient History department of his alma mater in Leuven, before joining Leu Numismatik AG in Winterthur (Switzerland) as senior numismatist in 2021. Mr. Vaneerdewegh’s interests include the coinage of Roman Egypt, the iconography of Roman imperial and provincial coinage and the history of numismatics and antiquarianism, and he is in the process of preparing a PhD on the iconography of the Roman Alexandrian coinage. In the following years, the Cabinet will continue its digitalization effort (including the world-class collection of Greek coins), while also striving to improve physical access to the collection for both researchers and the general public.
Conference in Brussels
If you would like to personally congratulate Nick Vaneerdewegh on his new position, an upcoming numismatic highlight offers the perfect opportunity: On October 5th 2024, the 7th International Numismatic Conference of the Coin Cabinet of the Royal Library of Belgium will take place in Brussels. Further information about the conference can be found here.
