Proceedings of the XVI International Numismatic Congress, 11-16.09.2022, Warsaw: Vol. III. Medieval Numismatics

The XVI International Numismatic Congress, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2022, was a landmark event, drawing the largest number of participants in its history. With over 550 papers presented during thematic sessions and round tables, this congress showcased the latest advancements and research in the field of numismatics from leading experts and scholars in their field.

A curated selection of papers from the conference have now been drawn together into peer-reviewed conference proceedings, representing a comprehensive spectrum of numismatic studies from antiquity to modern times. Each paper is meticulously illustrated with high-quality images, often of unique specimens, along with detailed diagrams, maps, and die/typological chains. Topics covered include coins and coin finds, medals, tokens, banknotes, the history of collections and collecting, and cutting-edge chemical analyses and technologies used in coin examination.

This book, the third in four thematic volumes, explores medieval coinage. Research presented over 40 different chapters ranges from the early Byzantine period through to the late Middle Ages, including Asiatique and Islamic coinages, and medieval tokens.
