Keepers. Brotherhood of the key

A person who is little familiar with science of numismatics may seem quite dry, and sometimes not very understandable. In fact, each of us is dealing with objects that this discipline studies. Coins and banknotes, medals and badges - through them you can learn a lot about the history of various countries and eras, about the rulers and ordinary people, about life, the level of technological progress, the development of various arts, even about the state of philosophical thought.
Unusual in structure, with a multi -level presentation of the material, the publication was prepared for the anniversary of the numismatics department of the State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin tells about the history of the formation of the department and his meeting through the story of the keepers, collectors, enthusiasts who collected, retained and popularized numismatics.
We recommend the book to everyone who is interested in numismatics or the history of the formation of museum meetings in Russia, as well as those who love history and are ready to look at famous events and facts from an unexpected angle
