Christopher Blunt Centenary, 1904-2004

Papers given at a Meeting of the British Numismatic Society, 22 June 2004

At its June 2004 meeting the Society celebrated the hundredth’s anniversary of the birth of Christopher Evelyn Blunt (1904-1987), who was the most influential figure in British numismatics during the twentieth century.

Four papers were read reviewing different aspects of Christopher Blunt’s contribution to numismatics. These were followed by three personal reflections, including two from close members of the family.
