Workshop: ‘And Then There Was Coin…’

A numismatic workshop “And Then There Was Coin – Beginnings of Coinage in Medieval Europe“, organised by Mika Boros (Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo) in cooperation with ELITES, took place on the 16th and 17th March 2022 at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. We invite you to browse the programme and the photo gallery from the event.

In the 11th and 12th century, a profound change took place in Europe. Christianisation spread to the far corners of the continent, kingdoms emerged and with them came literacy, bureaucracy – and national coinage. Medieval monetization processes have increasingly become the focus of numismatic research over recent years in many places. This workshop aims to bring researchers from different countries together and create an environment of exchange in order to share and create new knowledge, insights, and ideas.
