NEW PERIODICAL: VIETNAM NUMISMATICS

Numismatic globetrotter Howard Daniel submitted this information about a new periodical on Vietnamese numismatics. -Editor

VietnamNumismatics cover During my recent visit to Viet Nam, I was in Hanoi and met with Mai Ngoc Phat. Mr. Phat is an old friend who has assisted me in my numismatic research for many years. He is the primary force and senior editor of a new magazine, VietNam Numismatics. He has also established a national numismatic club. There are now thousands of numismatists in Viet Nam and this magazine serves them and overseas Vietnamese. It is written in Vietnamese and most of the articles are about old to modern coins, notes, tokens, etc., but there are articles about pieces from other parts of the world.

The first issue's cover and inside cover are attached. The oldest important Vietnamese numismatist; Nguyen Ba Dam, and the oldest important foreign numismatist; Howard A. Daniel III are pictured on the page. The picture with me includes my wife, Phung and Mr. Phat. He has also included the covers of my latest Vietnamese catalog, Democratic Republic of Viet Nam Coins & Currency.

Three issues of the magazine have been published. Nguyen Duc Viet is working with Mr. Phat and there is now a way of obtaining copies of the magazine for people who live outside of Viet Nam. Past, current and future issues can be obtained for US$10 each (which includes postage) by sending it to Mr. Viet via PayPal to his email address VIET@ueh.edu.vn. If anyone wants further information they can contact me at HADANIEL3@msn.com but Mr. Viet is also fluent in English.

Thanks, Howard. The club does not yet have a web site. It looks like a great publication on a topic of increasing importance in today's numismatic marketplace. -Editor
