Numismatists Creed

Numismatists Creed
This is my coin. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My coin is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.

Without me, my coin is useless. Without my coin, I am useless. I must take care of my coin better than anyone. I must put it in a proper storage, so as not to damage it. I will.

My coin and I know that what counts in value is not its face value, its monetary value nor its market value. We know that it is the historical value that count. We will learn.

My coin is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn the history behind my coin. I will do proper research regarding its diameter, weight, metallic composition, mintage and all historical information that I can gather. We will become part of each other. We will.

Before God, I swear this creed. My Coin and I are the spreader of Philippine history. We are the masters of our history. We are the keeper of our culture.

So be it, until history is learned by everyone. Until there is no more Filipino, ignorant of our Philippine history.
