More than 2,000 years of coin and medallic art images now placed in the public domain - transparent copyright statements for objects of contemporary medal art
All object images in the Münzkabinett's interactive Catalogue that show objects whose creators have been dead for at least 70 years have now been given a separate, individual rights label. This identifies such coins, medals, etc. with proof in German and English of the public domain of the object images in combination with a citation specification of the technical object proof and the descriptive text. This means that the rules that have been applied to the entire State Museums (SMB) since the middle of the year (see link with SMB message dated 27 June 2022) are now also shown individually and transparently for the Coin Cabinet at the level of the individual object. These individual rights labels are now also included in the export formats that are used to pass on the object data to other portals such as Museum-Digital, Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, etc. A telling and shining example of one of the consequences of the abolition of previous regulations that more restrict use by others and the ban on non-commercial exploitation is the already begun uploading of object images from the Coin Cabinet to Wikimedia Commons with the kind help of the Institute for Museum Research (IfN-SMB). Since June of this year, the Berlin State Museums have placed a large proportion of the object images in their online offerings in the public domain. See the SMB message dated June 27, 2022 linked below.

Münzen der Ukraine in den Sammlungen von ikmk.net
Der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine hat uns allen die potentielle Zerbrechlichkeit staatlicher Souveränität sowie nationaler und kultureller Identität vor Augen geführt. Wie kaum andere Objekte sind Münzen dazu geeignet, neben ihrer Funktion als Geld- und Wertmesser diese Prinzipien staatlicher Eigenständigkeit in Bild und Wort zu formulieren und in jede Hand zu tragen. Die Besucher unserer digitalen Sammlungen können nun nicht nur antike und historische Münzen, die auf dem Territorium der modernen Ukraine geprägt wurden, in den IKMKs finden. Dank einer Spende der Firma F. R. Künker aus Osnabrück sind dort jetzt auch moderne Gepräge der seit 1991 unabhängigen Republik Ukraine dokumentiert.
