The Numismatic Museum

The Numismatic Museum was established in 1834 and it is one of the oldest and most important public museums in Greece. The Numismatic Museum in Athens houses one of the greatest collections of ancient and modern coins in the world, arranged in such a way so as to follow the history of coinage. 

It owns about 500.000 acquisitions dated from the 14th century BC (coins, gems, medals, weights, talents, lead bullae and obeloi).

The richest collections are those of the ancient coins dated from the 6th century BC to the 5th century AD. The Numismatic Museum is housed at the renovated Iliou Melathron (a magnifiscent Neoclassical building - 1880), on Panepistimiou Street.
