The International Numismatic Council (INC) is the international co-ordinating body set up to aid cooperation between numismatists and institutions within the field of numismatics, or related areas.

The body was founded in 1934 as the International Numismatic Commission, and became the International Numismatic Council in 2009. It has approximately 160 members from 38 countries. The Council's activities, which include the awarding of grants, patronage of research projects, and the organization of the International Numismatic Congress, are coordinated by a Committee of nine members. These members are elected by representatives of member institutions at the International Numismatic Congress. The INC also maintains a newsletter.

Current members of the Committee are:

  • Michael Alram (President)
  • Pere Pau Ripollès (Vice-President)
  • Maria Caccamo Caltabiano (Vice-President)
  • François de Callataÿ (Secretary)
  • Bernhard Weisser (Treasurer)
  • Ute Wartenberg Kagan
  • Andrew Meadows
  • Cecilia von Heijne
  • Aleksander Bursche
  • The 15th International Numismatic Congress took place in Messina in Sicily from 21–25 September 2015. The 16th Congress will take place in Warsaw, September 2021.
