INTRODUCTION

You hold in your hands the latest in the long series of

Standard Catalog of World Coin books. This 35th edition

of the longest running annual world coin catalog repre-

sents a great deal of hard work, dedication and years of

development from hundreds of loyal contributors com-

prised of coin collectors, coin dealers, editors, research-

ers, photographers, programmers and designers.

Beginning with the ideas of original authors

Chester L. Krause and Clifford Mishler, the

Standard Catalog of World Coins was

brought into our hobby in 1972 as the

largest and most comprehensive world

coin reference available. Those rst few

editions in the early 1970’s offered

world coin data for all countries

from the Mid-1800’s to the then

current day. There were photo-

graphs of many of the coins,

plenty of information on metal

content, descriptions of types

and varieties, date listings

and of course values pre-

sented in multiple grades

of preservation. It was

all that a hobbyist could

want, in one complete

package.

But of course, the bur-

geoning expanse of the

world coin hobby brought

with it new requirements for

added data. Over time we found that

collectors wanted information on ear-

lier time periods, and so our database of

information was developed and expanded

to include coin listings rst from the 1700s,

then the 1600s and now even some listings

into the mid-1500s. Related areas to circulating

coins were also researched developed and rolled into

our base of knowledge. Patterns, pieforts, trial strikes and

essais were added to many countries offering steps of

information towards the regular issue coins we had come

to know so well. Tokens and medallic issues were com-

piled for eras and areas where regular issue coinage was

scarce or non-existent.

Many experts leant their knowledge and time to these

various expansions and to them our hobby is most

indebted. Many editors came and went over the years;

our staff of experts has over time included some of the

most interesting and well-known people one could ever

hope to meet. The broader base of those contributing

advice and expertise from the eld has been a vibrant

ray of sunshine, with so many brilliant people stepping

forward that it makes our minds spin. Along the way the

primary concern for everyone has always been to expand

our base of available knowledge and to present as much

of what we have learned as possible in an affordable and

manageable book form for all to use and enjoy.

Over the years this base of knowledge has come to

encompass a full four hundred years of world coinage

in four catalog volumes, plus a newly developed edition

covering the edgling 21st Century. These ve volumes

represent the most cost effective and complete numis-

matic library available in the world today! In that we can

all take a moment of pride and honor.

However, we should never pause for very long, as

there are always new territories to conquer. As in the

past, when we found a need to offer more

specialized catalogs such as the land-

mark Standard Catalog of German

Coins and Standard Catalog of

World Crowns and Talers, the

classic Standard Guide to South

Asian Coins and Paper Money

and Standard Catalog of World

Coins – Spain, Portugal and the

New World, the re ned Standard

Catalog of World Gold Coins,

the streamlined Collecting

World Coins, our geograph-

ic North American Coins

& Prices, the distinctive

Unusual World Coins, our

innovative Coins & Currency

of the Middle East, or the

most recent geographically

oriented Coins of Northern

Europe and Russia, we are

always looking for new ways to

better serve our shared hobby.

Our web design team has devel-

oped Numismaster, the rst-ever on-

line version of the Standard Catalog,

which can be found at www.numismas-

ter.com. This is due, in large part, to the

enthusiastic input of our dedicated readers.

Keep writing, we love to hear from you!

As we look towards the future, this 35th edition com-

pleted and out in use, we would like to take a moment

to ask a favor of you, our readers. While you are using

the various volumes of the Standard Catalog series,

please keep in mind that this ever changing, developing

and expanding series of numismatic reference books is

really a living, breathing entity. It’s a book that requires

your attention and nurture. Watch over it carefully, keep

and eye out for possible mistakes, errors and omissions.

Look for an opportunity to participate in its expansion and

re nement. Contact the editorial staff with your observa-

tions, additions and ideas.

Be a part of your hobby through the pages of the most

recognized and respected World Coin reference on the

planet!

Best Wishes,

The Editorial Staff of the

Standard Catalog of World Coins
