Coin Treasures of Western Turkey. Part I

The CN-team explores the numismatic collection of the Kırklareli Museum.

The Museum of Kırklareli numbers among the top-four numismatic collections of Western Turkey. Despite this fact, only recently a portion of its ancient coins minted in Thrace and Moesia became known to a wider audience (Arslan, Peter & Stolba 2021). In the course of a trip through the museums of European Turkey, the CN-team has studied the old and new acquisitions that remained unpublished. The work in the Museum would hardly be such a success without the kindness of the Museum’s director, Süheyla Murat, and exceptional hospitality and comprehensive assistance of the Museum’s curator, Nevin Özdemir, whom we thank on this occasion very warmly.
