Royal Numismatic Society Called for Proposals for Its February 2025 Early Career Lectures
On April 9, 2024, the Royal Numismatic Society (RNS) announced that it would host two lectures by the early career community in February 2025 and invited proposals. The lectures were to take place over Zoom, and the deadline for proposals was May 31, 2024.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the society's notice. We removed claims not in the source, including a "$6B rare coin market," an eligibility rule of within 10 years of a PhD, references to cryptocurrency, AI authentication and the British Museum, and statements about investment and prices. We corrected the society's Japanese name and stated that this was an April 2024 notice whose deadline has passed. The previous headline was "Royal Numismatic Society's Early Career Initiative Reveals $6B Rare Coin Market's Academic Vulnerability" (Japanese headline: "王立造幣学会、新進研究者育成で貨幣学と").
