ANS Lists Long Table 263 on the Zhuyuetang Collection Catalogue "When Coinage Was Born"
On February 17, 2026, the American Numismatic Society (ANS) published an event page for Long Table 263. The page said Dr. Ute Wartenberg Kagan and Dr. Wolfgang Fischer-Bossert would discuss their exhibition catalogue, "When Coinage Was Born: Treasures from the Zhuyuetang Collection."
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source. We corrected the description of the Zhuyuetang collection, which the ANS describes as a collection of Greek coinage, not East Asian coins; removed unsupported material on the speakers' specialties, analytical methods, market prices, forgeries and investment; and added a note on the date shown on the event page. The previous headline was "Zhuyuetang Collection: When Ancient Barter Became Standardized Coinage—Feb 20 ANS Event."
This article is based on an event page published by the American Numismatic Society (ANS) on February 17, 2026. The page listed the talk for February 20 at 1:00 PM ET; the year shown in that date line does not match the page's publication date.
The ANS announced the session as Long Table 263, an ANS Book Club discussion.
Speakers and catalogue
The page named the speakers as Dr. Ute Wartenberg Kagan (Sydney F. Martin Executive Director) and Dr. Wolfgang Fischer-Bossert of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
According to the page, they were to discuss their new exhibition catalogue, "When Coinage Was Born: Treasures from the Zhuyuetang Collection."
Archaic coins in the Zhuyuetang collection
The page said the discussion would cover the archaic coins in the Zhuyuetang collection, which the ANS described as one of the great collections of Greek coinage. At the time the page was published, the collection was described as on view until summer 2026.
The ANS said the two scholars would explain how they assembled a history of archaic coinage through 148 coins dating from 650 to c. 460 BCE, which the ANS described as often rare.
The accompanying book was described as an introduction to the beginning of coinage and its historical context, written for a museum-going public.
