I am a hobby numismatist and researcher of old books and history. Here you will find a number of articles I have written on different topics with a numismatic connection.

Coins in literature

Articles about old coins mentioned in classical literature, sort of footnotes that is required for the full understanding of these readings.

Treasure troves

Stories of finding hoards of old, rare gold and silver coins... The dream of every numismatists...
