مركز أبحاث المسكوكات الإسلامية في جامعة توبنغنIn 1990, the University of Tübingen established a research centre dedicated to Islamic numismatics. It's coin collection is now one of the three largest and best of its kind in the world; the FINT also has an excellent reference and research library (retro-catalogued in 2021 so that this book holdings can be searched for in the university library's catalogue plus). Recent annual reports of the FINT can be viewed on the website of the Numismatic Commission.
Every semester, numismatic courses are included in the curriculum offered by the Department of Oriental and Islamic Studies and every year in May, the FINT organises an international conference on Islamic numismatics on the occasion of the meeting of the Oriental Numismatic Society (ONS). In 2021, this took place online for the first time (with over 50 participants and 12 lectures); in 2023, the conference returned to a face-to-face format. Older programmes can be found here. The next ONS conference will take place on 9 and 10 May 2026.
