DCC: Private Numismatic Collection of World Coins
This site is a digital systematic catalog of the DCC (Dema Yurii Collection) — a private numismatic collection of world coins, organized by names, countries, and historical periods. In essence, DCC serves as a numismatic dictionary providing brief geographical and historical data for each coin type.
- 2,400+ coins in total
- 290 countries and territories
- 500+ unique coin names (denominations)
Every coin displayed on this site is a physical part of my private collection.
The previous version of this project (hosted at dema.com.ua) is inactive as of September 2023. The entire collection has been moved here and is available in a dedicated section: Колекція монет світу Деми Юрія (UA).
The Concept: A Global Map of Coin Denominations
The core theme of DCC is to collect at least one specimen of every unique coin name from all historical periods and peoples. While it is impossible to own every single coin ever minted, collecting one representative of every denomination — from cent and peseta to hryvnia — is a challenging yet achievable goal.
This approach covers all territories and historical eras simultaneously, including rare varieties and symbolic denominations like the Ancient Denarius, Franc, or Crown.
One of my favorite Ukrainian coins: 5 Hryvnias 2016 (25 Years of Independence of Ukraine)
Catalog Details and Technical Data
Please note: Weight and diameter are measured personally from my specific specimens. Since many coins are significantly worn, slight inaccuracies may occur compared to official mint specifications. Material data is sourced from reputable numismatic catalogs.
As for the indicated prices in USD: these represent the average value in Ukraine prior to the full-scale Russian invasion, specifically for coins in a similar state of preservation to mine.
