This love of the achievements of human civilisation has guided every part of his life since - from employment, to education. Graduating in 2015 with an MA in Archaeology from University College London (UCL), during which time he was a cataloguer in the Coins and Medals Department of the British Museum, he got deeply involved in the London stamp trade.

Following graduation, Alexander transitioned from the direct trade in physical objects to something a little more abstract when he joined a firm specializing in precious metals based in Warsaw, Poland. Becoming a regular contributor to a couple of popular Polish alternative investment publications, it was here that an understanding of the items themselves was paired with a deep technical understanding of markets and market mechanisms. Missing the hands-on of the over-the-counter trade, Alexander returned to London to work with a major coin and stamp retailer in 2018, and now divides his time between the two countries - a change of pace that has culminated in this site.

The primary function of Norantyki is to offer numismatic and philatelic consulting services - this can be anything from research, to description, to authentication, or evaluation. We have worked with several major museums and auction houses, not to mention individual collectors across Europe, the UK and North America, both advising and providing content in a variety of areas. Whether you are looking for assistance, prep to final product follow-through, or simply advice with a view to holding, curating, displaying or selling material, we here at Norantyki are well-positioned to give you the tools with which to best accomplish your aims.

As with anybody involved with the trade, I have over the past decades accumulated a large amount of material, of which here present a curated offering. So please sit back, have a browse, and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, or approach us with any projects you might have!
