The shop

Former shop in Paris

At first located 49 rue Vivienne, then 76 rue de Richelieu in Paris, his wife Françoise then his daughter Christèle took over the company.

The Parisien shop has closed in 2015 and offices moved just near Paris. Numistoria's business continues exclusively online.

In 30 years this shop has been a meeting place for professionnals of the financial industry but also for all public coming from France and overseas, looking throughout the old stock certificates for a glimpse of social and economic history.

"Decrypting a signature, analyzing an illustration is a fascinating form of investigation.
Admire the graphic beauty, the disorientation or the humor of the old titles, are always so many good reasons to make them a place of choice, under frame, at the office or at home."

Guy Cifré
