Museo numismático

Coin Museum of the Fondazione Banca Agricola Mantovana

Provincia de Mantua, Italia

Museum of Numismatics: with its 2160 pieces in gold, silver and bronze the coin collection of Banca Agricola Mantovana is the most complete collection in the world, along with that of Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II, of coins and medals issued in Mantua in the period of the communes and the Gonzaga. The collection was started in 1986 on acquisition of the Milanese Casero collection and was considerably enlarged in 1993 by the acquisition of the prestigious collection of Mantuan count, Alessandro Magnagutti. The splendid state of conservation and exceptional rarity of many of the pieces make this collection an inestimable source of history, art and culture. Artists that made coins and medals for the Gonzaga family include masters such as Pisanello, Bartolo Talpa, Leone Leoni, Gaspare Molo and Gian Cristoforo Romano.
