This website is neither the result of new discoveries nor of revolutionary new ideas on earliest coins, it is the synthesis of the thoughts and experiences of two friends that share a passion: AncientCoinage.

The website author is indebted to a large group of academic, professional and amateur numismatics who have shared their knowledge of archaeological coins and wisdom through interviews, articles, lectures and multiple hand outs or books. It is not possible to recognize all of them in one and the same way, but a conscientious surfer, one day, will become aware of their many contributions [1].

To honour those that deserve it most we encourage you to share information, to participate in Coin Gallery, and to talk about our website with friends. Help us expanding AncientCoinage: platform for the international collector of archaeological coins from the roods of Western civilisation.
