Available now! Essays for the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of Victor D. Brenner

Find your distributor: numismatics.org/store/coac2021/

Organized in 2021 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Victor David Brenner’s birth at the Coinage of the Americas Conference (COAC), hosted by the American Numismatic Society, this assembly of scholarship honors one of the most influential figures in American numismatic history. Best known as the sculptor of the 1909 Lincoln Wheat cent-the longest-running design in the history of U.S. coinage-Brenner was a master of the Beaux-Arts style. The chapters within this volume offer a multifaceted look at his career, including detailed examinations of specific, lesser-known medals and commemorative pieces; an exploration of how Brenner’s Lithuanian roots and European training influenced his American works; and a critical look at his role in the Golden Ageö of American numismatics and his mentorship within the medallic arts community.

Whether you are a seasoned numismatist or a student of American art history, these proceedings provide fresh insights into the man who transformed the way Americans interact with numismatic artwork.
