Numismatics Museum "Héctor Carlos Janson"

The museum displays more than 20,000 pieces in its collection, including coins, banknotes, and other monetary artifacts from different periods of Argentine history.

The building, constructed in 1862 by architects Henry Hunt and Hans Schröder, initially served as the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange before housing the museum in 1941.

The collection exhibits pre-Columbian currency forms such as cocoa beans and copper axes, along with Spanish colonial doubloons from Peru and Rio de la Plata viceroyalties.

Located at San Martin 216 in central Buenos Aires, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM without admission charges.

The institution maintains specimens of the modern banknote series featuring Argentine native animals, alongside currency variations from the Caja de Conversión period between 1890 and 1935.
