Swiss coins and medals

The fascinating history of Swiss coinage began around 200 BC with Celtic coins. From the 16th century onwards, an incredibly exciting monetary system developed in what is now Switzerland, both in terms of its scope and diversity.

World coins and medals

Modern coinage dates back to 1486, when the first large silver coin, the ’Guldiner,’ was minted in Tyrol. From then on, gold and silver coins, as well as coins made of base metals, shaped the history of money around the world.

Ancient coins

From the gold coins of the Lydian kings to the Byzantine Empire: ancient numismatics spans almost 2,000 years of coin history. Ancient Greek coins in particular are considered by many to be masterpieces of die artistry.

Banknotes

Thanks to the economic upturn in Europe, the demand for money increased and could hardly be met with coins alone. In 1609, the bank in Amsterdam was the first to start creating paper money. Europe followed suit.

Orders and decorations

Orders were once a sign of allegiance to a particular association. Later, they were increasingly used to honour civil and military achievements. Among them we find magnificent works of goldsmithing and jewellery.
