Paying Respects: Money And Mortality

21 Feb 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 View Venues, Dates & Times

Having been struck in tribute to emperors, monarchs and leaders - and also used in many of the rituals and routines that mark the passage from life to the afterlife - coins of historical significance are invariably accompanied by some fascinating stories. 
That’s certainly true of the examples on show in this ongoing Barber display. The exhibition draws from a superlative collection that features caches of Byzantine, Trapezuntine and Sasanian currency, as well as significant holdings of Roman and medieval coins.
