Source-derived summary

The Schweizerische Numismatische Rundschau (translation: Swiss Numismatic Review) is one of the two peer-reviewed multilingual journals of the Swiss Numismatic Society. Containing articles of the highest scientific level in the field of international numismatics and economic history from antiquity to modern times, the SNR is also known as a main publication for Swiss numismatics.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Schweizerische Numismatische Rundschau” as academic journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 54-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1891. The account is most persuasive where Schweizerische, Numismatische and Rundschau can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as academic journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1309182. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
