Membership Information
The Russian Numismatic Society (RNS), organized in 1978, is a non-profit group of collectors and students interested in the field of Russian numismatics. The Society currently publishes an 84 page Journal (Index) twice a year (Summer and Winter), and a 16 page Newsletter (Spring and Fall). The Journal and Newsletter feature original articles; translations and abstracts not readily accessible in English; highlights reports on auction results; reports on recent forgeries, with diagnostic details; reviews of books on Russian numismatic subjects, including original works, translations, and reprints. RNS members may purchase books offered by the Society at a discount; a complete book list will be provided with membership.
The Society takes the broadest view of the scope of Russian numismatics, including the study of coinage, paper money, tokens and jetons, medals, awards, orders and decorations, and the history of the production of the various objects. The Society's aim is to be helpful and useful to as wide a range of interests as possible. Member's comments, criticisms and advice are our surest guide. If you should be moved to share your knowledge, experience or research results, please write to the Journal Editor so that you and he together can plan your contribution to have the fullest impact.

Can you speak any Russian? Would you like to help translate one of the great references of Russian Numismatics? If so, please visit the Grand Duke Corpus Translation project at http://grandduketranslation.pbwiki.com , It's simple to get involved and all are welcome! All work is done online. Contribute as much or as little as you want, whenever you want. Both translation and editing help are needed. This is a non-commercial project and all work is voluntary. Thanks!
Ordering Journals online
In July 2001 the Society began offering back issues of the Journal on this website. Journals are available to members and non-members at the same rate. However to encourage membership, we do not offer online any Journal or Newsletter published in the prior 12 months.
UPDATE JANUARY 2009:
With many Journals now available in PDF format we have updated all individual web pages to allow direct ordering of both formats. See, for example, JRNS81 .
