On Berlin’s Museum Island, and particularly in the Bode Museum, the Coin Cabinet of the Berlin State Museums is an institution of particular relevance to readers with an interest in numismatics. Anyone interested in coins, medals and the history of money will find a stock here that is notable not only for its size, but above all for its historical depth and the breadth of its subject matter.
Anyone with an interest in numismatics will find it hard to overlook the Coin Cabinet of the Berlin State Museums. The Berlin collection is not only one of the most important numismatic institutions in Germany, but also ranks amongst the major reference collections internationally. For collectors, researchers and visitors with an interest in history, it is therefore far more than just a museum: it offers a concise overview of more than 2,500 years of monetary history.
