Numismatics originated in the 16th or 17th centuries particularly in Britain, where the cabinet of coins and most probably Roman coins where collected in catalogues by princes and other noble people. This definitely brought people from different cultural background bring their interest in numismatics, even people from different parts of the world became interested in numismatic.

Huntington in 1929 and Edward T Newell. The society went on to become one of the best numismatic societies providing well researched information about the coins and other collectibles.
