Abstract
Abstract This paper explores the numismatic collecting activities of the oil magnate and financier Calouste Gulbenkian (1869–1955), focusing in particular on his relationships with scholars who advised him, such as George Hill (1867–1948) and Stanley Robinson (1887–1976), as well as with dealers like Jacob Hirsch (1874–1955), from whom many of his purchases were sourced. The ways in which these relationships shaped his collections will be stressed, as will the similarities between Gulbenkian’s numismatic collection practices and his manner of collecting other art objects.
