Museo Casa de la Moneda

The Museo Casa de la Moneda in Madrid houses Spain's largest numismatic collection and is one of the most complete in Europe. Since its first public presentation in 1867 under Queen Isabella II, the exhibition has documented the history of money, beginning with ancient Greek and Roman coins and moving through the medieval period to the dynasties of the Catholic Monarchs, the Habsburgs, and the Bourbons. Alongside historical pieces from the 19th to 21st centuries, dedicated rooms focus on paper money, philately, medals, and graphic art. You can also see temporary exhibitions and learn about modern technologies used to authenticate coins and banknotes.
