Coin Collection of Trier University

Definition
In 2017 Karl-Heinz Zimmer, a water engineer based in Trier, donated his collection of ancient coins to Trier University. This collection, which is now kept with the departement of Ancient History, consists of a total of 515 coins. It was built over several decades and in cooperation with local cultural heritage authorities. The collection does have a local focus, as most of the coins had been struck in the Roman mint of ancient Trier and/or were found in Trier proper, respectively. Many coins hence do have a known findspot; remarkable e.g. are many coins found at the Roman bridge in Trier (Moselbrücke) or those deposited at the Trierweiler temple. The collections thus does not only provide an imporatent teaching tool during University courses, but does represent scientific value in its own right.

Valencia

Definition
The medieval and modern (christian) mint located in the city of Valencia, Spain. It was in operation throughout the feudal Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries), the Modern Age, and the Contemporary Age. It was established by King James I of Aragon in 1247, a few years after he had conquered the city (known as Balansiya) from the Muslims. The initial coinage, consisting of silver pennies (reals), was issued in the name of James I in the years 1247/1249 and 1271, and the activity ceased until the mid-14th century when King Peter IV of Aragon resumed minting to produce gold florins. With subsequent reigns, starting from John I of Aragon, the Valencia mint produced coins in silver, gold, and copper, until its closure in the 19th century. For the muslim mint of Valencia, see "Balansiyah".
