My name is Joris, I’m a 20 years old from France passionate about ancient history and coins. I discovered ancient coins collecting in 2020 when I bought my first coin on Ebay. Being interested in history for a long time, I immediately fell in love with the idea of being able to hold a 2,000 years old artifact.
As a computer science student and freelance web developer in my spare time, I set myself a challenge:
To create a website dedicated to my collection in order to have a platform where all the information about my coins could be gathered. As well as to be able to share my hobby with my relatives and other collectors. The Artemis Collection website is a great source of inspiration for this project, so check out this amazing site!
I started with a coin from the Roman Empire (a follis of Constantine) but I couldn’t stop at that era. My collection is now composed of coins from the :
At the moment I’m trying to focus on Greek coins, as this is my favourite period and the one whose art inspires me the most.
I buy my coins mostly from online auctions. I try to be patient to get the best deals on the coins I really want to own. I choose the coins I buy based on the beauty of the design but also because the history related to the coin fascinates me.
If you have your own collection (of ancient coins or something else), have you ever thought of having your own platform to manage your items?
Having your own website is a great way for any collector quickly manage your coins. You can have all the informations about your pieces in a single place (description, size, where you purchased it, when, the price…). When you buy a new coin, just fill a form, add your photo and your collection is now bigger.
It’s also a very useful tool to share your hobby to your relatives who don’t understand your obsession… and to proudly show your collecting friends the great collection you are building (or that aureus you just bought).
I would be very happy to talk with you about your project and help you build the perfect site to take your collection to the next level.
