East Asia

The East Asian Collection is one of the most important in Europe with more than 20,000 coins. It includes approximately 15,000 Chinese coins – through the entire history of China from 600 BC to the 21th century, and 3,000 Korean coins – from the Koryŏ period to Korea's first modern milled coinage (1882). Vietnamese coins and Chinese amulets are also well represented. The Japanese coin collection of 1,600 coins has been documented by Nobuhisa Furuta, Shin’ichi Sakuraki and Lyce Jankowski.
