MünzenWoche

What MünzenWoche does

MünzenWoche is a German-language numismatic news and information portal operated by Numismatisches Team Kampmann FAMA GmbH, a privately held German limited liability company. The publication provides editorial coverage of coin collecting, medals, auction results, fairs, and the broader numismatic market, organized into sections including "Menschen und Märkte" (People and Markets), "Was ich noch sagen wollte" (Commentary), "Münzen, Medaillen und mehr" (Coins, Medals and More), "Unterwegs" (Travel/Events), and "Gut zu wissen" (Good to Know). It targets three primary audiences: collectors (Sammler), professional numismatists from trade and academia, and coin production professionals, with a claimed international readership spanning 170 countries.

The core product is the WordPress-based news website (neu.muenzenwoche.de), supplemented by an email newsletter, downloadable special publications (Münzenwoche Spezial), a recurring editorial cartoon series (Franklins Welt), a numismatic directory tool (Numismatischer Reiseführer at numismatic-directory.com), and a numismatic market index tool (Numindex). The publication also maintains an English-language sister edition, CoinsWeekly (new.coinsweekly.com), and lists partnerships with European auction platforms and regional numismatic media (SIXBID, cronaca numismatica, blognumismatico.com, coinsclub.gr, The Coin Conference).

Commercially, MünzenWoche generates revenue through advertising and sponsorships drawn from numismatic dealers, auction houses and mints (Silver Sponsors such as Emporium Logos are prominently displayed alongside advertisers including Heritage Auctions, Kuenker, CIT, SINCONA, and Swissmint). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of paid subscriptions, paywalls, or institutional funding. Editorial authority is closely associated with editor Ursula Kampmann, who received the Premio Lastanosa from the Spanish Numismatic Society NUMMUS in July 2026 for excellence in numismatics; the publication differentiates itself on the basis of human-authored (non-AI) editorial content and bilingual accessibility.

Regional players

• SIXBID Numismatic Auctions: Numismatic auction aggregation platform listed as a partner on MünzenWoche. Comparable as a complementary auction-listing and price-data service serving European collectors, intersecting directly with MünzenWoche's news and auction-coverage content.
• Cronaca Numismatica: Italian numismatic publication listed as a partner on MünzenWoche. Comparable as a regional peer covering the same hobby in a different language/geography, and an example of the cross-promotion network the publication has built.

Broad incumbents

• Heritage Auctions: Major US-headquartered numismatic auction house that also produces editorial content, catalogs and price reference data. Comparable as a numismatic ecosystem incumbent that both competes for advertising dollars and overlaps in editorial/market-intelligence coverage.
• Emporium Numismatics: Hamburg-based numismatic auction house featured as a Silver/Emporium sponsor on MünzenWoche. Comparable as a regional incumbent whose own catalogs and digital presence overlap with the publication's editorial coverage of the German market.
• PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service): US-based third-party coin grading service that also publishes price guides, news and market data. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the numismatic information and certification ecosystem whose data and editorial output competes for the same collector audience.
• SINCONA: Swiss numismatic auction house and MünzenWoche sponsor. Comparable as an incumbent auction platform with its own editorial/research output, overlapping with MünzenWoche's market-commentary positioning.
• Künker (Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH): Major German numismatic auction house and one of MünzenWoche's visible Silver Sponsors. Comparable as a German-language numismatic incumbent operating adjacent editorial and catalog content that competes for the same reader attention.

Direct peers

• Numismatic News: US hobby publication targeting coin collectors with news, price guides and auction coverage. Comparable as a longstanding collector-focused numismatic periodical monetized through advertising and ancillary data products.
• CoinWeek: US-based numismatic news publication covering coins, medals and the collectibles market with editorial content and video. Directly comparable as an English-language hobby news outlet targeting collectors and professionals, competing for global reader attention and dealer/auction-house sponsorship.
• Coin World: Long-running US numismatic periodical and digital publication covering coin news, auctions and market analysis. Closely comparable as an established hobby trade publication monetized through advertising and subscriptions, serving the same collector and dealer audience.
