Numiscon 2026: coins and investing in Castelló

El Periódico Mediterráneo (staff, 10 September 2026, 6:00) announces Numiscon 2026 at Castelló’s Hotel Luz on 11 and 12 September. Jorge Traver of San Jorge Events and Numismática San Jorge organises it with his team. The daily presents the gathering as a major Spanish numismatic meeting and as a convention also meant for people who do not collect. It is not a Notofilia inventory and not an auction with hammers published in that note.

Friday Ibercoin, Saturday fair

The programme, according to Mediterráneo, opens on Friday from 18:00 with Ibercoin’s Numiscon 2026 Special Auction in the hotel’s Sala Austral, in the room and online. The paper does not publish a catalogue, lots, or realised prices here; this note does not invent them.

Saturday 12 is the fair: dealers, appraisals, talks, and the children’s programme. The paper calls it the only numismatic convention in Spain with a dedicated programme for children. Visitors under 16 enter free; other tickets are sold at sanjorgeevents.com (opens in a new tab).

James I, at the hammer

The activity the daily highlights is medieval hammer striking of billon dineros of James I of Aragon, plus the king’s presence at the convention — a figure tied to Castelló and the old Kingdom of Valencia. There are also coin-painting, games, a numismatic quiz, magic with Pablini, and gifts. The stated aim is to show a new generation what those pieces record.

Collecting and investment

Mediterráneo places historical coins, bullion coins, gold and silver, and advice on the tables. It notes that some pieces cost a few euros and others thousands, and that metal and collecting are not the same test. It cites no concrete quotes.
