Search the Catalogue by keyword, authority, date, mint, metal, and denomination. In addition to high-resolution images and object metadata, each record includes a commentary and short-form bibliography (author, title, and page and/or catalogue number). For a full reference list, including abbreviations, see the Bibliography.
On the occasion of the launch of this online catalogue, Ccile Morrisson, advisor for Byzantine numismatics at Dumbarton Oaks from 1998 to 2018, has provided a History of the Collection and of the Unpublished Accessions. A list of Collectors, Dealers, and Donors supplements this history.
Additional resources for coins include downloadable versions of the published coin catalogues and two online exhibits, one featuring Byzantine Emperors of Coins, and the other, Coinage of the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the history of the monetary system and its denominations and imperial and religious representations.
Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE), a joint project of the American Numismatic Society and the Institute for the Studyof the Ancient World at New York University, is a revolutionary new tool designed to help in the identification, cataloging, and research of the rich and varied coinage of the RomanEmpire. The project records every published type of Roman Imperial Coinage from Augustus in 31 BC, until the death of Zeno in AD 491. This is an easy to use digitalcorpus, with downloadable catalog entries, incorporating over 43,000 types of coins.
As of April 2017, OCRE provides links to examples present in nearly 20 American and European databases (both archaeological and museum in context), including the ANS collection, the Mnzkabinett of the StateMuseum of Berlin, and the British Museum, now totallingover 100,000 physical specimens. Between these collections, OCRE is now able to illustrate 50% of the imperial coin types that it contains. Moving forward, as more collections join theproject, it will eventually incorporate and display almost all recorded Roman Imperial coin types. Furthermore, it draws findspot information from another ANS-developed resource, Coin Hoards of the Roman Republic, enabling the mapping of the distribution of early Augustan types. Geographic data are also provided by the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Antike Fundmnzen Europa, OpenContext, and other partners. For more information on project partners, please see the contributors page.
OCRE is made possible by stable numismatic identifiers and linked open data methodologies established by the Nomisma.org project. Coin type data are madeavailable with an Open Database License. All images are copyright of their respective institutions. OCRE is built on the numberingsystem created by the Roman Imperial Coinage series. For details of the printed volumes of his series please visit Spink & Son ( =product/category&path=60_65).
In May 2014, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded OCRE $300,000 as part of the Humanities Collections andReference Resources program, to be dispersed over three years, to complete the project. Press release

This project takes as its starting point the Roman Republican coins in the British Museum collection. These are published in a dedicated online catalogue prepared in 2010 1 , which forms an update to the 1910 catalogue of the collection by Grueber 2 : _research_catalogues/rrc/roman_republican_coins.aspx.
We would like to acknowledge the contribution of Michael Crawford to the project and also to thank Michael Sharp of Cambridge University Press for allowing us to use the numbering system of Roman Republican Coinage.

In November 2020, CRRO is beginning to enter a second phase of advanced functionality, integrating die links established by Richard Schaefer in the Roman Republican Die Project. Where applicable, the pages for RRC numbers have been enhanced by displaying dielinks in tables and network graphs, with the die pairings and numeric counts of specimens downloadable as CSV files for further analysis in otherstatistical platforms. New specimens from private collections and auction catalogs are being made available in CRRO through the ANS' SITNAM database. Eventually, this will enhance the coverage in CRRO to some 300,000 Roman Republican coins.
A coin catalog (or coin catalogue) is a listing of coin types. Information may include pictures of the obverse and reverse (front and back), date and place of minting, distribution type, translation of inscriptions, description of images, theme, metal type, mintage, edge description, orientation of the coin, weight, diameter, thickness, design credentials, shape and prices for various grades. Defects may also be described.[1]
The quality, detail and completeness of the information available about a particular coin varies according to popularity, commonality, and available scholarly research. Because of the huge number of coins in world history, there are no comprehensive catalogs. Professional collectors typically keep many books for identification and assessment. The other form is the auction catalog, where only those specific coins available in the auction are described, with photo plates available for some of the more prominent coins.
The introduction of the euro has created a cross-border collecting area with many millions of enthusiastic collectors - and since 2004, the whole of Europe has been in two-euro collecting fever: the euro states can adapt the national side of their two-euro coins to commemorate significant events, buildings or personalities So far, more than 400 different motifs have been minted - and many a rarity slumbers in the change.

The library of auction catalogues and fixed price lists is maintained as a research tool. Its scope is universal, covering all areas and periods, and including sales not only of coins but of other numismatic materials: paper money, tokens, medals, decorations, weights and balances. Some individual non-numismatic (e.g. archaeological) sales are included when the main series is numismatic, but this variation is not consistent.
This online list will be updated at the beginning of each month. It shows which catalogues can be consulted in the Department, and also indicates which catalogues we do not now have. We would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has catalogues not on this list, which might be available for sale or exchange -- we have duplicate catalogues which we would be prepared to exchange in return.
In general, the catalogues and lists are listed alphabetically by dealer, otherwise by firm when a single dealer's name is not given or is not obvious. Thus, NUMISMATICA PLIEGO (personal name) is under PLIEGO; whereas NUMISMATICA SABADELL (place name) is under NUMISMATICA. Usage throughout is not entirely consistent, but ample cross-reference should lead the reader to the correct entry.
The dates of auction catalogues and fixed price lists are usually evident. Only the opening date of an auction sale is normally given, but expanded when necessary to avoid confusion. Dates given in square brackets [1985] are deduced from the run of the series, or from outside information such as postmarks. Where the day and month are given, but not the year -- as happens particularly in the areas of Italy and Spain -- the date can often be found in the printer's information or the (annual) date of legal deposit.Where an undated or unnumbered catalogue or list cannot be easily identified, the total number of lots is indicated by (e.g.) "/703".
Collectors' names are not normally given nor are there analyses of the contents of individual catalogues. For such information, with respect to ancient coins and a number of major sales the reader can turn to the titles listed below under Bibliography
Mail Bid sales, and Buy or Bid sales, are included under auctions, and listed in series with public auctions except when separate series are clearly indicated.
"Complete 1-12" indicates that, as far as we are aware, this is the total of the series, and it is held as complete in this department.
"Have 3-12" is a convenience for quick checking, and indicates that this much of a series, and possibly other, unnumbered, issues too are held in the department.
(The seriations of both "Complete" and "Have" may include, for reference, non-numismatic catalogues not actually held in the Museum.)
