VOCABULARY ANNIVERSARY: 100 WEEKS

For nearly two years I have highlighted one or more vocabulary terms each week; 128 terms have appeared in the last 100 weeks. These have been adapted from my Encyclopedia of Coin and Medal Technology. The importance of having an understanding of the special terms, the language of the field cannot be over stated. Everyone in the field should have the same understanding of an unusual word or term for clear communication.

In addition to the definition of the term in the first sentence most of the entries have a further explanation. These, in effect, are encyclopedic entries revealing the full meaning, use and history of the term in the numismatic field. The use of the term in cataloging numismatic specimens is often mentioned – one of the vital facets of the field.

So important is this reference work that I elected, with the gracious permission of the Newman Numismatic Educational Foundation, to place this Encyclopedia on the internet. Every term may be accessed without cost on the Newman Portal under Dictionary.
