Eva Kolníková

Eva Kolníková (née Eva Valentová, born 20 April 1935 ) is a Slovak numismatist. She specialises in the Celtic coinage of Slovakia, as well as the importance of coinage with relation to Roman-Germanic interactions. She has had marked success in disentangling the complex relationships between the coinages and publishing them accessibly. Research projects have included the cataloguing of coin finds from Němčice nad Hanou, the Bratislava Castle hoard, amongst others.

Kolníková was born in the village of Klokočov, which is now a part of the town Příbor. Her parents were teachers. She was the first out of six siblings.

Kolníková graduated from Comenius University in Bratislava in 1960. From 1973 to 1978 she was head of Department at the Institute of Archeology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. From 1978 to 1986 she was its scientific secretary. She is a member of the National Numismatic Committee of the Slovak Republic.

Her husband Titus Kolník was an archaeologist.
