This week the American Numismatic Society was proud to announce that it bought a large collection of extremely rare medals, tokens and coins. All of the numismatic items were collected by the late Prof. Guido Kisch (1889-1985).

Exclusive and amazing examples of more than 1000 pieces are dedicated to the law and legal profession. These items were gathered for more than half a century. The collection includes various badges and emblems linked with the law, institutions, personalities, legislation, history and prison. The objects are dated from the 16^th century to the middle of the 20^th century.
