Numismatic Museum of Athens, National numismatic museum in central Athens, Greece
The Numismatic Museum holds a collection of 600,000 coins, medals, and currency-related artifacts from ancient civilizations through modern times in a neoclassical building.
The museum occupies the Iliou Melathron mansion, constructed between 1878 and 1880 for archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who directed the excavations of ancient Troy.
The exhibition displays the development of Greek monetary systems from the 6th century BC, featuring coins that depict mythological figures and historical events.
Located near Syntagma Square at 12 Panepistimiou Street, the museum includes a research library with 12,000 books and offers guided tours for detailed collection exploration.
The building's restored interior reveals original floor mosaics and wall murals illustrating scenes from the Trojan War, connecting to Schliemann's archaeological discoveries.
