Friedrich Exter (numismatist)
Friedrich Ludwig Exter (born March 14, 1714 in Oberhausen ; † December 11 or 12, 1787 in Zweibrücken ) was a German teacher and numismatist .
Live and act
Friedrich Exter was the son of pastor Philipp Friedrich Exter (1684–1736) and Anna Maria Staedel (1695–1730) from Strasbourg. He himself married Susanna Katharina Bächle from Mannheim , with whom he had two sons, including the philologist of the same name .
Exter initially worked as a pastor in Drusweiler and then as deputy principal in Meisenheim and Zweibrücken. Max von Bayern was one of his students . The Palatinate Academy of Sciences accepted him as an extraordinary member in 1765.
During many high school programs, Exter developed the "attempt to collect medals from the Palatinate, show commemorative coins and all sorts of other coins". The two volumes appeared in Zweibrücken in 1759 and 1775. The State Coin Collection in Munich also has a handwritten volume of illustrations. The work with over 1000 descriptions of coins is still an indispensable source of numismatics.
