Hunterian Celtic Coins recataloged and online
« on: March 11, 2024, 02:34:25 pm »
Some museums have numismatic collections, and it's a great day when one of them makes their collections available online.  Here's some news:  The University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum has recataloged and placed online a Celtic coin collection

The good: three interns cataloged two hundred coins, using digital tools, for the first time in over 100 years!

The bad: the website is hard to locate, hard to use, and limited. You really need to work to find things; it would help to have experience and insight into their taxonomy and vocabulary. The photographs were something that only museum curators would love.

I was only able to find 98 Celtic coins online (I limit the search to records with photos).  Please give it a whirl if you're so inspired.
 

 

All coins are guaranteed for eternity
