Museum of International Numismatic Club

The Museum of International Numismatic Club displays coins and historical currencies in a renovated historic building on Bolshoy Afanasyevsky Lane in the Khamovniki District. The collection spans from ancient times through modern Russian money and is complemented by digital displays offering detailed information about each piece.

The museum opened in 2015 within the Yusupov-Zinoviev Chambers, a 17th-century structure that underwent extensive renovation. The collection originated from a private gathering assembled over decades and reflects monetary systems across multiple historical periods.

The museum presents exhibitions that connect Russian monetary history with broader social developments, such as displays on gold coins during the Romanov era. Visitors can see how currencies reflected the cultural and economic identity of Russia.

Visitors can browse high-resolution images of coins on digital tablets and access detailed information about each specimen. The tablets help you see fine details and inscriptions clearly while learning about the historical context behind each piece.

The collection originated from the private gathering of Vagit Alekperov and includes coins ranging from ancient Greece to recent times. Few visitors realize that behind such collections often lies decades of research and passionate hunting for rare specimens.
