Overview

Restrike is a reference catalogue of gold coins: every type described to the same specification, with the melt value of each at today's spot price. This documentation explains the thinking behind the catalogue, where its data comes from, and how to read all of it programmatically.

What is here

• Philosophy: why the catalogue exists and the principles it is built on.
• Where the data comes from: how the catalogue is authored and kept clean, and the shape of the catalogue in Numista's vocabulary.
• The API: everything the catalogue knows, as JSON, with no key and no account, plus the interactive reference generated from the OpenAPI document.
