The annual 2015 meeting in the Netherlands
Saturday October 17th 2015
Leiden University, Cleveringaplaats 1 at Leiden
On Saturday October 17th 2015, the annual ONS-meeting in the Netherlands will be held at the premises of the
Leiden University, Cleveringaplaats 1 at Leiden.
Again a number of different subjects will be covered. As previous years, we propose to end the day with a diner in an oriental atmosphere and again as previous year we have opted for the speciality restaurant Asian Palace. We hope that again many people will attend the ONS-meeting and stimulate the mutual contact among the members.
The tentative program will be:
|
| 09.30 - 10.15 h |
Welcome with coffee/tea at the restaurant ‘Pakhuis’ (former Camino Real), Doelensteeg 8, which is just a short distance from the University entrance. At 10.15 h. we will proceed from there to the lecture room at the University.
|
| 10.30 - 12.30 h |
Lectures will be held in one of the lecture rooms of the University. Location will be indicated in the entrance hall of the University.
Some of the topics of the meeting will be on the Coinage of the kingdom of
Commagene by Rudy Dillen and Arab-Byzantine coinage by Frank Hendriks.
Dr. Wybrand op den Velde will give a presentation of the book ‘Cast Korean
Coins and Charms’ which he as co-author with David Hartill, has published
recently. A few copies may be available from the co-author on the spot.
There will still be room for additional short papers, questions, news items, etc. Members are invited to come forward with it. A provisional paper on an Indian subject is kept on hand by me.
|
| 12.45 - 14.00 h |
Joint lunch (we booked a lunch arrangement for € 15,50/p.) at the Pakhuis, Doelensteeg 8. |
| 14.15 - 14.45 h |
Lectures in one of the lecture room of the University;
Continuation of the morning session.
|
| 14.45 - 15.00 h |
Viewing of the coins for auction. |
| 15.00 - 16.30 h |
Auction of some Oriental coins. Again a number of coins have been donated
to the ONS. With the proceeds of this auction, the ONS will be supported; 5%
will be added to the hammer-price. All lots are illustrated at ZENO.RU – Oriental Coins Database. You may view this at: http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=11821.
|
| 16.30 - 17.00 h |
Communications among members and informal get-together.
|
| 17.15 - c. 21.00 h |
A drink followed by a diner (ca. € 20,=/p. excl. drinks) in the speciality restaurant Asian Palace, Steenstraat 55. |
We hope to welcome as many members as in previous years.

Travel guide and parking facilities at Leiden:
Leiden can easily be reached by train from either Amsterdam, The Hague or Rotterdam. The University is located at approx. 10 minutes walking distance from the railway-station.
By car the locality can be reached as follows:
via motorway A4 (Amsterdam - Rotterdam): turn off the motorway at "Leiden/Zoeterwoude dorp, resp. Voorschoten", follow N206 direction Katwijk (via Europaweg, Voorschoterweg, Churchilllaan), just before the bridge across the river Old Rhine turn left, (Haagweg) and follow direction "CENTRUM"
Parking
within the city limits of Leiden need, almost without exception, to be paid for.
Visitors by car are advised, after having followed the before mentioned route into the direction CENTRUM, to follow the signs P “Haagweg”. From there it takes approx. 5 - 10 minutes to walk to the University. A frequent gratis ‘city shuttle’ service may bring you to our meeting place. For return service dial 071 51 20 071.
A day-ticket (5.5 to 24 hours) will cost € 12.
Yours Sincerely,
Jan Lingen
