From Roman emperors to the Royal Mint's 2022 Pride 50p, coins have been used by individuals and institutions to both hide and convey LGBTQ+ identities. Key to our discussion is the life of the emperor Elagabalas, whose gender identity could be considered today as that of a trans woman, was overshadowed by negative portrayals by historians.

Join artist and historian Luna Morgana and curator Aleks Fagelman to explore some of the queer lives celebrated on coinage. This panel discussion is part of a program undertaken by the Inclusive Numismatics Network, which seeks to widen participation in and analysis of the material culture of money.

The Yorkshire Museum usually charges visitors, but this event is FREE.

Details on how to get there are here: https://www.yorkshiremuseum.org.uk/visitor-information

The LearningLab is wheelchair accessible.

We're pleased to welcome new steering committee members Shailen Bhandare, Elizabeth Montgomery, Lucy Moore, and Lucinda Orr to help us shape a more open, inclusive and diverse numismatic event.

Thanks also to John King, Marzbeen Jila and Jerome Ruddick for their early support of and contributions to the project.
