The numismatic collection starts from its origins, passing through Greece, Rome, Hispania, the Middle Ages, the Catholic Monarchs, the House of Austria and the House of Bourbon. It also has two rooms with coins from the 19th century to the 21st century. It is the largest numismatic collection in Spain and one of the most complete in Europe.[2]
