PHILIPPINE NUMISMATIC
AND
ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY
Numismatics is one of the most effective means of discerning and disseminating information about a country's history and culture. The PNAS, founded in 1929, has fulfilled this esteemed responsibility.
As the premiere numismatic and antiquarian society of the Philippines, the PNAS will continue to play its vital role in the preservation and promotion of our people's historical and cultural heritage.
OUR VISION
Our mission at its core is the humble search for and sharing of knowledge, and our deep interest not only covers virtually all the serious and academic aspects of antiquity, the humanities and sciences but also the limitless more interesting and fascinating everyday subjects which people and peoples have enjoyed through time.
If for no other reason but your own enjoyment, intellectual satisfaction and search for knowledge - and not necessarily in any particular order or stream - we invite you to walk through the following subjects of interest which we have prepared. Beyond these, there may certainly be many other ideas which you may wish to share with us along the way.
