hour-long fixed-line call to Slovakia. Russian
Collectors at the Fair The
Russian monthly for collectors Petersburski
Koleksioner published in its latest issue extensive material on the
prepared fair Collector in Prague. We feel that this will attract
collectors from Russia, and that they’ll set out in great numbers to
Prague. Greatest
Inflation Ever The
Czech Numismatic Society has prepared for the fair an exhibition of
Hungarian currency from 1946. It was that spring in Hungary when inflation
began to spiral uncontrollably upwards. Each day a few zeros were added to
the figure, says the author of the exhibition, Vladimír Kudlík, from the
Czech National Bank, until a bank note eventually reached one billion
billion pengö (24 zeros). It was the most drastic inflation ever. A
monetary reform followed, bringing with it the introduction of the forint.
Numismatists should especially find the exhibition interesting. Autographs On
Saturday, September 12th, two autographs will immediately be signed that
will foremost interest numismatists. At noon Eduard Polívka will sign his
new book Czech Groschen, Tokens and Metal Stamps and at 2:00 p.m. Jan
Bajer will sign his updated (now in colour) publication of the catalogue
Paper Currency in Czechoslovakia 1919 – 1993, Czech Republic and
Slovak Republic 1993 – 2003. On Sunday at 11:00 a.m. renowned
creators of Czech stamps, the artists Libuše and Jaromír Knotek will
sign autographs. Their block with the pisces sign will be on sale for the
first time at the fair.
