D. Bernard Hoenig

D. Bernard Hoenig, a vocational expert in numismatics, is also an attorney and a free-lance journalist. His serious interest in Judaic numismatics began in 1970 when Hoenig discovered a family heirloom,—a bronze “Holy Shekel” token from the 18th or 19th century. At about the same time, Hoenig received a gift of Israeli commemorative coins that, he says, “opened up … a world of unparalleled numismatic beauty that linked together the modern and ancient worlds of Israel.”
