Abstract

The purpose of the work was to analyze the history of gastroenterology using numismatic materials. The branch of historical science of numismatics (from the Latin numisma — coin) originated in the XIX century and became closely connected with economics, politics, culture, and law, it includes a thematic study of coins, medals, and plaque. Best of all, the history of gastroentero­logy is illustrated by various forms of the medal designing art (exonum or paranumismatics), and the medal became the prototype of the memorial coin. This work presents a catalog of 110 numismatic materials (including some unique, first cited), reflects the stages of development of treating diseases, there are links to significant historical events, brief biographies of physicians who made an invaluable contribution into the formation of this scientific discipline; scientific forums of gastroenterologists on commemorative medals were considered.
