Münzkabinett, Numismatic collection at Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria
The Münzkabinett exhibits over 600,000 objects spanning three millennia, including coins, medals, banknotes, stocks, and minting tools in three dedicated halls.
The collection traces its origins to the Habsburg imperial collection, with the earliest preserved inventory dating back to 1547 under Ferdinand I rule.
The second hall presents the evolution of money, from natural forms of exchange through the invention of coins in 600 BC to current payment methods.
Located on the second floor of Kunsthistorisches Museum, visitors can explore the collection through an interactive online catalog for detailed information.
The collection includes handwritten signatures on early Austrian banknotes from Maria Theresia period, implemented as an anti-counterfeiting measure.
