Aurora Numismatist Club

Starting from the end of December 2013, the numismatist club holds its regular meetings at the Aurora CT in Moscow. Prior to this, collectors gathered at the Ulaanbaatar cinema, where the conditions for meetings, however, were far from ideal. The room in the "Aurora" is quite spacious and comfortable. According to the opinions of numerous visitors, "Aurora" is the best option for holding meetings of fans and lovers of numismatics. Not only numismatists gather here, but also collectors of badges, medals, bonds. The event was organized by the Moscow Numismatic Society.

Today, the Aurora club in Moscow is one of the most famous and prestigious numismatic clubs in the capital. Here you can find everything you need to replenish and create a collection even from scratch: albums and holders, coins and sets, as well as various accessories.

The club cooperates with leading retail coin sellers. At the same time, when buying products directly from their fellow numismatists, the price is not too high and there is no payment for delivery. Visitors can view coin exhibitions, purchase missing copies for their collections (and there is always a choice here - the exhibits occupy several hundred tables and showcases), exchange copies with other collectors, get advice, find out the latest news or just chat with each otheron topics of interest.

Meeting time and place

Collectors meet at the Aurora Numismatist Club in Moscow every Sunday. The club opens at nine in the morning and is open until two in the afternoon. Opening hours are chosen in accordance with the wishes of the visitors themselves. But according to the testimony of numerous club regulars, you should still come before noon, because by 12 o'clock many of the sellers have already completed work, and in the afternoon it becomes very difficult to find the necessary items for the collection.

At the same time, those wishing to visit the club must pay an entrance ticket, the amount of which is 100 rubles. The fee is purely symbolic and allows the organizers not only to pay for the rent of the premises, but also to make certain amenities and improvements to the work of the club.

Club address and how to get there

The Aurora Club in Moscow is located along Profsoyuznaya Street, 154, in the South-Western District of the capital.

You can get to the club by metro (Tyoply Stan station). The cinema is located 5 minutes walk from the station. The spacious foyer of the Avrora cinema hosts exhibitions, meetings and club meetings.

Until December of this year, the cinema is closed for repairs. A new meeting place for the Aurora Club in Moscow will be additionally indicated on the website and forums of the society.
