Numismatický Sborník

The journal Numismatický sborník is focused on presenting research in the field of numismatics from antiquity to the early modern period. The main part of the journal is studies presenting numismatic research in the wider Central Europe area. However, it also includes texts focused on, for example, Islamic numismatics or generally on the history of money from the perspective of written sources. The journal pays special attention to the regular publication of coin finds, both from the territory of the Czech Republic and finds of Bohemian coins abroad. Separate columns are reserved for these contributions.

Numismatický sborník has long been perceived as the most prestigious numismatic journal published in Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic. Over its long existence, it has undergone a complex development and a number of changes. It was founded in 1953, when it directly followed on from the Czechoslovak Numismatic Journal, which had been published since 1925. The development of the publication of Numismatický sborník is relatively complex. Its publisher was initially the Historical Institute (later the Institute of Czechoslovak and World History) of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (volumes 1–15 from 1953–1979), later the Archaeological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (volumes 16–19 from 1983–1993). The publication of these volumes was carried out by the Publishing House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (later Academia). The complex conditions in Czech numismatics were one of the main reasons why the Numismatic Proceedings ceased publication in 1993. It was revived only in 2005, when the Philosophical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i., Prague/Centre for Medieval Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Charles University in Prague took over its publication. Since 2012, two issues have been published annually. Today, it is included in the list of peer-reviewed non-impacted periodicals and offers a regular space for the presentation of scientific numismatics.
