Sven Martzinek discovered his love for numismatics at an early age. He began collecting coins as a boy – a passion that, by a lucky coincidence, he was able to start pursuing right away, since his secondary school had its own coin collection. His favourite field of collection has always been antiquity. He was at a Numismata coin fair when he had another stroke of luck: he crossed paths with Ursula Kampmann, who would go on to employ him a short time later. Mr. Martzinek, a student, assists the CoinsWeekly team as an editor, working primarily on news articles, as well as auction previews and reviews.
