Modern

Modern numismatics traces more than a millennium of history, from the first Carolingian denarii to the coins of the 20th century, revealing how great empires, kingdoms, and nations were shaped — and sometimes collapsed. Above all, modern coins revive an entire gallery of major historical figures: Elizabeth I, Louis XIV, Frederick the Great, Catherine II, Napoleon, and Victoria.
