Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to numismatics as one of the auxiliary historical sciences, to position numismatics among other historical sciences and to stress its sources, methods and goals. In the practical part the students will learn the basic and extended literature, the history of money starting with primitive mediums of exchange to the legal tender of today and how the domestic and foreign numismatic departments function. The students also learn the traditional and modern methods in elaborating the numismatic material (mainly the newly found) and the possibilities and limits of its source value.
The student can find his way in the subject, knows the development of numismatics, terminology and literature, can characterize single periods of the development of the Bohemian and Moravian numismatics in the context of other countries. In practice he can basically describe and define the numismatic material.
