The Hellenic Numismatic Society was founded in 1970 to serve the interests of Greek and foreign numismatists and collectors of Greek coins, banknotes, tokens, medals, decorations etc.

The journal of the Society, Nomismatika Khronika (NomKhron) has been appearing since 1972. It contains articles by Greek and foreign scholars, covering the whole range of the history of coins in the Greek World, as well as related subjects. It is now completely billingual: all articles are printed in their original language (usually Greek or English) with a full translation or detailed summary in Greek or English as required.
