Famous Numismatists (Coin Collectors)  Kings, queens, emperors, presidents, and other famous people are often featured on coins, either as head of state, and usually on the obvers or "head" side of coins, or sometimes honoured for some great achievement, usually on the "reverse" side of commemorative coins. However, throughout history a good number of famous people have also collected coins.  Famous or important people who happen to be, or have been coin collectors.  Famous coin collectors (numismatists) include the Roman emperor Augustus, Louis XIV of France, US President John Quincy Adams, and King Farouk of Egypt.

Famous Numismatists Augustus It was customary in Rome, as it also had been in Greece, to present coins as gifts on festive occasions, a tradition which Ovid recorded. The historian Suetonius (in Augustus 73) records that Emperor Augustus would distribute on the occasion of the Saturnalia festivities, among other precious gifts, various unknown foreign coins or coins with portraits of ancient kings " Tony Blair UK Prime Minister Tony Blair received a set of Russian coins, valued at £200, and was one of the few gifts which he kept personally. Under House of Commons rules, all gifts worth over £140 must be declared, and if the Member wishes to keep them, must pay the market value, over and above the first £140. We have e- mailed the Prime Minister's office to request a more complete specification of the coins, and await the reply with baited breath.

José Gerson da Cunha Cunha was an avid coin collector. He began collecting coins in 1876 and in addition to his own collection, purchased the collections of James Gibbs and Bhau Dhaji. By 1888, his personal collection had expanded to include over 27,000 pieces of Gold, Silver and other baser metals.[ 8] The collection of coins catalogued by Cunha was generally believed to be among the best in the British Empire.[ 6] This catalogue was published in Bombay in 1888. He wrote a book on numismatics, Indo- Portuguese Numismatics which was published in 1956 by Agencia Geral do Ultramar in Lisbon. This work is generally believed to be one of the few valuable studies in this field.
