List of numismatic museums


Many history and cultural museums have large numismatic collections (coins, money, and tokens). Some museums are specifically dedicated to the history of money or coins, while others have major collections amongst other material. Many small museums often have important collections of coins from their local area or important archaeological sites.

The coinages of Central Asia from the Achaemenid Persians, through Alexander's successors, to the Islamic conquests, play an important part in reconstructing the history of the region. They are particularly important because of the complex web of trade routes, sometimes known as the 'silk' or 'spice' routes which connected different parts of the world through Central Asia. As a result many museums outside of Central Asia have significant collections of coins from that region.
