The Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection’s educational program “Nomos-Nomizo-Nomisma” has embarked on its journey to primary schools around Greece, in a specially designed suitcase.
The Program enables students to learn about the history of coins, which originated in ancient Greece and get acquainted with their iconography, their diffusion and their use as a medium of exchange.
The Program includes the following products, designed for various educational activities:
- A map floor puzzle (24 pieces), with dimensions 130 cm x 190 cm, featuring illustrations of ancient cities, their kings and their coins.
- 100 coin cards, corresponding to a total of 50 coins, with 50 cards depicting the obverse and the other 50 the reverse of each coin. Each card features a short description of the coin it depicts on the back.
- Six copies of ancient coins, from the Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection, so that children can hold some of the most important ancient coins in their hands.
- An explanatory leaflet accompanying the six copies of ancient coins.
- 50 paint cards. Students can design their own coin if they want to. Their paintings will be sent to the Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection and could be presented in an exhibition that the Collection might hold later on, in consultation with the schools.
- Five pairs of clay molds, a soft stuff dough set and clay too. Children can use the clay molds to produce a coin with soft stuff or clay, roughly following the ancient minting technique.
- A Teachers’ Guide, which includes a detailed presentation of the Program as well as ideas about educational games and topics for discussion in the classroom.
- A publication titled “Nomos-Nomizo-Nomisma”, which remains in the library of each school.
- An educational booklet for every student attending the Program.
The Program is addressed to fourth-to-sixth-grade Primary School students and is conducted by teachers.
