A really nice museum. In four rooms you walk trough the history of coins. From Ancient times to modern coins. At the moment there is an exhibition about tokens from WWI.
Recommendable for every collector visiting Munich!

Very interesting and fascinating - even if you're not collecting older coins.
I took lots of photos there. Calm and friendly atmosphere.

a various collection of coins from roman and byzantine era till king Ludwig reign and the new Mark. collected from all europe and east. divided in 4 rooms which follows the time zone till 20th century. a special exhibition is present where you can see the medallion from olympic games in 1972 Munich and the coins from tourists and players back then. entrance 1euro on sunday with special collection of japanese treasury cabinets. what i found the most interesting was the coins in Bayern era till King Ludwig 1 in the 4th room.
its good to spend 2 hrs on a sunday rainy evening.

Went on a Sunday for the 1€ admission. It's a nice smaller museum. Very few descriptions are in English but I used Google lens/translate to read the German descriptions. It was very informative and covered many eras of history. I spent about an hour there, but I read all the descriptions so you could do it in less time. I would recommend going but make sure to download Google translate before you go if you dont speak German.

Highly recommend visiting this museum and treasury. There are lots of rooms and treasures to see. To view the whole area you need about 2 hours. Well worth the €11 for entry.
