Nomos AG

Nomos AG was founded near Lucerne, Switzerland in 1972 by Dr. Roland Maly who ran it until his unexpected death in 2005. Dr. Maly had begun collecting and working with coins in the early 1950s and he helped form many collections of classical coins that were exemplary for their quality and interest. After his death his collection was sold in Zürich, but the firm itself and its invaluable photo file was acquired from Dr. Maly’s heirs by a long-time collector of ancient coins, Dr. A. Peter Weiss, who had decided to continue the business. The recreated firm’s first price list was produced in the United States in late 2007; a second came out the following year. In 2008, an office was acquired in the historic old town of Zürich, and following renovations it opened in February 2009. Since its re-foundation, Nomos AG has specialized in rare and beautiful ancient, medieval and early modern coins and medals, presented in our price lists or at auction, or by direct sale; it is a matter of pride that a number of major institutional clients, in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, have acquired important items for their collections from us, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Harvard Art Museums, and Princeton University among many others.
