National Museum of Art of Catalonia: Coin Collection (part II)

The numismatic exhibition at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia begins with the oldest coins made before our era. Then there is a smooth transition to coins made by the Visigoths, including in workshops on the territory of Catalonia. In the collection you can find copies minted in almost all Western European medieval kingdoms. Modern coins are also represented in the collection: exhibits brought from Turkey, Singapore, Indonesia, Guatemala and many other countries. Along with coins, you can see banknotes (more than 4 thousand, including paper money printed by local authorities during the Spanish Civil War), as well as items related to numismatics: tools for minting, scales, various thematic documents.
