About the Journal
Koinon is an annual, peer-reviewed academic journal for classical numismatic studies that encourages contributions from a wide variety of perspectives. It publishes papers on western and non-western coinages from the origins (c. 650 BC) until early modern times (c. AD 1400). Papers can be any length, from short notes to lengthy essays, and there is also a special section for publishing newly discovered type varieties. The editors are especially interested in papers that approach numismatics through an interdisciplinary lens, helping fill out the historical narrative by employing the best methodological approaches of various disciplines. Die studies, provenance research, forgery analysis, corpora of rare varieties and types, and ethical questions on laws and collecting are also encouraged, as are book reviews.
Current Issue
Vol. 7 (2024)
This volume offers a diverse and insightful collection of essays on numismatics, spanning Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, and Oriental coinage. The Greek section includes analyses of Cypriot coins and pottery, die varieties from Selinus, and early overstrikes, as well as studies of countermarked coins, the Hamadan Hoard, and updates on Sophytos, Andragoras, and forgery detection. Roman essays reassess RRC 442’s iconography and investigate enigmatic brockage-like coins. The Oriental section explores Kamnaskires V's unconventional portrait, and a final study documents a new silver coin of the Gothic Kingdom in Italy.
