The article discusses certain aspects of representations of Aeneas in Roman coinage, focusing in particular on the declining period of the Republic and Augustus’ principate. At the time, Aeneas; father, Anchises, would be depicted on the coins as the sole companion of the former. Although later the figure of the parent carried on a shoulder served as an attribute denoting the Trojan hero depicted on the reverses, the early minted representations of Aeneas were not as unambiguous in that respect. This was due to the fact that portrayals of Aeneas did resemble the manner in which the Catanian Brothers were represented, with both serving potentially as allegories of pietas.

Among the 15th c., usually anonymous Silesian hellers, the ones most interesting are those from the municipal mint in Legnica. In the collection of the Numismatic Department of The National Ossoliński Institute in Wrocław, we hold 37 such coins that can be divided into two main groups. The obverse of the first group, older (struck after 1425), shows the bust of St Peter, turned three-quarters right, with his right hand pointing at the key he holds in his left hand which is sometimes wrapped with a veil and that separates the sacred (the key) from the profane (the hand). The reverse features the Silesian eagle with its head turned right (in heraldic terms), with a concave band across the wings and breast and with a pellet at the centre of the breast, which represents the middle of the die. The second, younger group (struck after 1475), is characterised by the presentation of two crossed keys on the obverse. The reverse remains practically unchanged, when compared to the first group, only the centric dot disappears from the Eagle’s breast. In the Ossolineum collection we identified 22 coins with St Peter, so-called Petershellers. Three of these coins turned out to be counterfeit (nos. 35–37). The second group is represented by 15 specimens. We adjusted all the coins to the new, as yet unpublished, typology of Silesian hellers created by Borys Paszkiewicz. It is worth emphasising, however, that in the Ossolineum collection we registered one variant of a heller with crossed keys that was not registered by Borys Paszkiewicz. It is a variant with an additional dot near the tip of the right key (no. 26). Paying attention to this common coin used mainly for small transactions, we not only obtained a new variant of this coin, but also expanded the source base of the metric data of these hellers and presented the history of the 15th c. Legnica mint.

During the 18th century, collections of coins and medals were familiar sights. The collectors ranged from scholars to amateurs, men and women and the collectables tempted collectors for various reasons: they signified wealth and knowledge, they rendered historical events or current politics in material form, or they were miniature artworks and financial investments. Also, the visual and material culture that involved collecting coins and medals consisted of cabinets and numismatic publications. But how were numismatic collections amassed, and how were they used? What did it mean to own a coin and medal collection? This article discusses the practices of collecting numismatics in 18th-century Sweden through various case studies concerning private and public collections, such as the Uppsala University coin cabinet or the possessions of politician Carl Didric Ehrenpreus, numismatist Elias Brenner, medal artist Arvid Karlsteen, and merchant-wife Anna Johanna Grill. These cases illuminate the diverse motivations behind collecting, from intellectual curiosity to social status. These case studies include immaterial facets such as witty discussions and international networks and material aspects such as coins, medals, cabinets, letters, and publications. Based on contemporary written sources, this article sheds light on how numismatic objects were bought, sold and circulated, highlighting the market dynamics of collecting. Furthermore, the examples examine how numismatic publications were used next to the objects, contributing to hermeneutic study and the collecting process. The written records provide insight into the scholarly discourse surrounding these collections, offering a glimpse into the intellectual context of the time. Finally, the article will add to the understanding of values and ideas attached to the practices of collecting coins and medals in early modern Europe. It elucidates the role of numismatics as a collecting practice, as well as how it shaped cultural perceptions, underscoring the intricate interplay between material and visual culture, society, and the production of knowledge during this period.

The paper offers an examination of the phrase ἀργύριον δημόσιον καινόν in P. Dura 129. Its main focus is a comparison of the term with numismatic evidence. After a short analysis of the document itself, different possibilities for the label ‘new’ are discussed. For this purpose new coin motifs, changes of the emperor’s portrait, unusual coin legends, political changes, and connections with unknown victories or even new coin types are investigated.

Stanisław Grzepski (1524-1570) an outstanding classic and biblical philologist, the first Greek permanent lecturer of this language at the Krakow Academy. He combined philological interests with the passion of numismatist-collector and researcher of biblical antiquities. The fruit of his erudite knowledge in this area was published in the printing house of Krzysztof Plantin in Antwerp in 1568, the work of De multiplici siclo et talento hebraico. The Cracow scholar in the subtitle referred to Guillaume’s Budé earlier work De asse et partibus eius. Despite the fact that Grzepski presents himself to the reader as the author of a summary of the extensive work of a French scholar and diplomat, he created a work independent and in many places polemic with the findings of the famous predecessor. The article shows the character and significance of the work of Stanisław Grzepski, which has become a part of European science for over 200 years as a textbook of numismatics and biblical archeology.
