IAPN BOOK PRIZE 2020
International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN)Publication Committee chairman Peter Preston-Morley submitted the following report on the 2020 IAPN Book Prize. Thank you, and congratulations to the winners and nominees.-Editor
I am writing with news of the IAPN Book Prize for 2020, which was competed for last weekend at the organisation's much-delayed 2021 General Assembly, which was staged online via Zoom. The original contest was scheduled to have been held live, in Marseilles, in May 2020, but for obvious reasons associated with the pandemic had to be postponed.
There were 16 nominations, as listed in the attachment. Of necessity, all books eligible had to have been published in 2019.
The clear winner was the Stockholm numismatist Roberto Delzanno, for his self-published 450-page catalogue, Sveriges Guldmynt 1512-2020. Placed second in the voting was the 200-page title by François Joyaux, Monnaies Impériales d'Annam, published by Editions V. Gadoury in Monaco. Third was the groundbreaking 2-volume study by British scholar Hodge Malek, entitled Arab-Sasanian Numismatic History during the Early Islamic Period in Iran and Iraq, published by the Royal Numismatic Society in London.
The prize, Swiss Fr 1,000, and a diploma, will be awarded to Mr Delzanno at a future date.
