Confirmation of New Council for 2018-19

The Royal Numismatic Society “is the UK’s foremost society for numismatics – the study of coins, medals and related currency items.” 

It promotes numismatics by:

• publishing the Numismatic Chronicle and Special Publications
• distributing grants for numismatic research and training
• awarding prizes for publications on numismatics
• awarding the RNS medal for exceptional contribution to numismatic scholarship
• awarding Honorary Fellowship for exceptional contribution to numismatics
• supporting the annual RNS/BNS conference on numismatics
• providing a regular series of lectures on numismatics
• encouraging young scholars (student lecture, Lhotka Prize)

All Council Members have specialist expertise and represent different groups of the broader numismatic community. Everyone serving on Council does so on a voluntary basis, and their contribution to the RNS is appreciated.
