Each piece in the collection represents the monetary system, artistry, politics, and economy of its century. Placed in chronological order, the coins allow direct comparison of metallurgy, weight, imagery, and symbolism across twenty centuries of human endeavor.
This collection is both a numismatic masterpiece and a historical journey—a unique opportunity to hold in your hands the legacy of emperors, kings, sultans, and nations across two thousand years of civilization.
