Trajan Media, the publisher of Canadian Coin News, is launching a digital numismatic magazine, Nummus Canada.

The new publication will be published every second month in both English and French, a first in Canadian numismatics.

"We're hoping that this publication will help us reach an even bigger audience of money collectors," said Mike Walsh, publisher of the new magazine, "and we're quite happy that we were able to get an award-winning editorial team to lead this new venture."

The award-winning editorial team he speaks of is Serge Pelletier and Steve Woodland, who, with Ron Cheek, were behind the extremely successful publication of the Ottawa Numismatic Society, moneta, which won three "Best Local Newsletter" awards from the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association and three first places in the "Outstanding Local Publication" contest of the American Numismatic Association, and this in the four years it was published.

"I'm excited to be back in an editor's seat," said Pelletier who is the editor of the new publication, "and I hope that our team, like in the past, will be able to provide great content for beginning and advanced collectors alike."

While distributed electronically, Nummus Canada is designed as if it were a paper magazine and will be downloadable in PDF format. It will be launched at the end of the year.

Pelletier says the content in Nummus Canada will be different than the popular articles already featured in CCN.

The popular Trends section in CCN will not be included in Nummus Canada.
