History and aims of the Society
The Israel Numismatic Society (INS) was founded
in Tel Aviv on May 10, 1945. Its first president was David Nudelman. In 1956
the INS approved a charter, which laid out the objectives and functioning of
the society until recently. Since then three branches, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv
and Haifa, grew up and have conducted regular monthly meetings. A journal on behalf of
the INS, the Israel Numismatic Journal, was published, beginning in
1962. With the presidency of Prof. Dan Barag, the journal was reactivated (with
Prof. Dan Barag as editor); ten volumes have appeared since 1980.
Paralleling the growth of the state, the Israel Numismatic Society has
greatly developed from its modest beginnings in 1945 as “The Numismatic
Section of the Tel Aviv Circle of Amateurs of Antiquities.” Through the
efforts and expertise of several people, from collectors to professors, the
Society has advanced modern numismatic research in the small country.
Several of its exceptional publications and journals continue to broaden our
understanding of financial and political events throughout Israel’s ancient
and modern history. In March 17, 2006 an
updated charter was unanimously approved by a general meeting of
representatives from all of the branches. This updated
charter will ensure that the INS will continue to function efficiently in
the coming years.
