Two sides of the same coin. Means of transactions – Masterpieces of art

What the publication includes

The publication presents the two sides of the coin: The one everyone is familiar with, the coin as a means of transactions, and the one that showcases it as a storyteller, a snapshot of events and a masterpiece of ancient Greek art.

It includes a descriptive catalogue of 100 coins from the Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection, featuring illustrations and descriptions of both sides of the coins. Additionally, there is a text providing a concise history of the Numismatic Collection, its goals and its activities.

The catalogue of a fascinating exhibition

The work accompanies the same-titled exhibition “Two Sides of the Same Coin. Means of Transactions – Masterpieces of Art” hosted by the National Bank of Romania and Alpha Bank at the Museum of the National Bank of Romania in Bucharest. The 100 coins from the Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection featured in the publication travelled abroad for the 1st time on the occasion of the Collection’s 50th anniversary.
