INTERNATIONAL REFORMATION NUMISMATIC DAY

Rev. Dr. Daniel Harmelink of the International Association of Reformation Coins and Medals passed along this reminder. Thank you. -Editor

A friendly reminder that June 19 is International Reformation Numismatic Day.

Much has happened to promote this important area of numismatics - even after the 500th anniversary of the Reformation on October 31, 2017.

The IARCM continues to promote projects that further the discipline of Reformation numismatics.

• Ebenezer / Schlegel / Hilaria is scanned and waiting someone who has the skill to translate the text into English. This was the highest priority of Dr. Rainer Opitz when I talked to him before his untimely death on February 7, 2019.

• We continue to encourage the development of a comprehensive index for the 6-volume Opitz and 2-volume Brozatus catalogs.

• We are also beginning to explore the possibility of 3D scans of Reformation coins and medals to create a three dimensional catalog online.

Daniel adds:

"June 19 was chosen because it is Christian Junker's birthday. He is the author of the 1706 book "Reformatio in Nummis," an important presentation of the hundreds of Luther and Reformation coins and medals struck in anticipation of the 300th anniversary of the Reformation."
