Franz Ignaz von Streber

Franz Ignaz von Streber (11 February 1758 – 26 April 1841) was a German numismatist and theologian from Reisbach, Lower Bavaria.

In 1780 he was appointed private secretary to Johann Goswin von Widder (1734–1800) in Munich, remaining there for ten years.

In 1782 he was appointed curator of the cabinet of coins of the elector, as assistant to the diplomat Johann Casimir Häffelin.

Supported by Häffelin and his successors, in 1785 he was appointed director of the numismatic collection.

He wrote a history of the royal Bavarian cabinet of coins, and several treatises on Bavarian and Greek numismatics, most of which appeared in the transactions of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, of which institution he became a member in 1822.
