The IAPN Book Prize

Since 1982, in order to encourage the publication of books of scientific and general interest,
the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) has awarded an annual honorary prize for a numismatic work published the previous year. During the annual IAPN General Assembly, members hold a vote to select a winner from among the many titles submitted to the competition.

The IAPN Book Prize consists of a medal, a diploma and a monetary award of
CHF 1,000 (Swiss Francs). Prize winners are formally presented with their awards
during future IAPN gatherings.

Books suitable for the prize must be submitted to the Chairman of the Publication Committee at least 90-days before the General Assembly of the Association convenes.

Submission Requirements for the next IAPN Book Prize:
– All books must have a 2025 imprint.
– All nominations to be sent by email to the Chairman of the Publication Committee by Friday, 30 January 2026.
– The deadline for submissions of physical books to the Chairman is Friday, 20 February 2026.
