Numismatist
Anumismatistis a specialist, researcher, and/or well-informed collector ofnumismatics/coins( "of coins"; fromLate Latinnumismatis,genitive ofnumisma). Numismatists can include collectors, specialist dealers, and scholar-researchers who use coins (and possibly, other currency) in object-based research.[1]Although use of the termnumismaticswas first recorded in English in 1799,[2]people had been collecting and studying coins long before then all over the world. (The branch of numismatics that deals with the study and collection of paper currency and banknotes bynotaphilistsis calledNotaphily)
Numismatist collectors
[edit]This group chiefly may derive pleasure from the simple ownership of monetary devices and studying these coins as private amateur scholars. In the classical field, amateur collector studies have achieved quite remarkable progress in the field. Examples includeWalter Breen,a noted numismatist who was not an avid collector, and KingFarouk I of Egypt,an avid collector[3]who had very little interest in numismatics.Harry Bassby comparison was a noted collector who was also a numismatist.
Numismatist dealers
[edit]In this group are the coin dealers. Often called professional numismatists, they authenticate orgradecoins for commercial purposes. The buying and selling of coin collections by numismatists who are professional dealers advance the study of money, and expert numismatists are consulted by historians, museum curators, and archaeologists. See, for example, theInternational Association of Professional Numismatists(IAPN) and theBritish Numismatic Trade Association (BNTA).
Numismatist researchers
[edit]In this category are scholar numismatists working in public collections, universities or as independent scholars acquiring knowledge about monetary devices, their systems, their economy and their historical context.[4]Coins are especially relevant as a source in the pre-modern period.
Training and recognition
[edit]There are very few academic institutions around the world that offer formal training in numismatics. Some may offer numismatics as part of a course in classical studies, ancient history, history or archaeology. Scholar numismatists may focus on numismatics at the postgraduate level, where the training is more research-based. As a result, most scholar numismatists will approach numismatics from within another academic discipline (e.g. history, archaeology, ancient or modern languages, metal sciences), perhaps after attending a numismatic summer school, usually based where there is an excellent coin collection. Recognition of scholarly numismatic expertise may be in the form of a postgraduate qualification, and/or in the form of a medal awarded by a numismatic society: for example, theMedal of the Royal Numismatic Society,which may be awarded to scholar numismatists of any nationality.
Donald H. Kagin[5]earned the first PhD in Numismatics granted in the United States in 1979.[6]
