American Numismatic Society Magazine now On-Line

 ANS magazineThe initial release of ansmagazine.com featuring the Spring 2007 issue of the American Numismatic Society Magazine is now available online. Previous issues are also available online,  including the Spring 2002 through Winter 2006 issues.

The ANS has a long history of  numismatic publishing  including a variety of book series, prominent among  the annual  “American Journal of Numismatics” .   In 2002 the ANS launched The American Numismatic Magazine which presents regular columns from the Society’s various departments, including contributions from individual curators, feature length articles on numismatic or related topics, announcements about upcoming events, and highlights from conferences and functions. This full color publication is issued three times a year.

With the launching of the ANS magazine website ansmagazine.com, both members and non-members will now have access to some of the finest numismatic articles  currently being written, many on subjects that are little known and generally not covered by the major numismatic news publications.

The Lead  article from the Spring 2007 issue currently online is “The Coinage of the Mangit Dynasty of Bukhara” By Peter Donovan. Admittedly an esoteric topic, the article is a good read and in some ways symbolizes the the ANS focus on presenting educational information on numismatics from around the world.

The American Numismatic Society was organized in 1858 and its membership is mostly made up of academics, serious collectors and professional numismatists. The mission of the ANS is to be …”the preeminent national institution advancing the study and appreciation of coins, medals and related objects of all cultures as historical and artistic documents, by maintaining the foremost numismatic collection and library, by supporting scholarly research and publications, and by sponsoring educational and interpretive programs for diverse audiences.”

The American Numismatic Society headquarters is located at at 96 Fulton Street (and the corner of William Street) in lower Manhattan.

    Dear Sirs,
    The legend on the so-called “Silver tetradrachm of Kushan king Heraios”
    is written in a sort of Old Slavonic language. If you are interested I could send my short article about it.
    With kind regards,
