Numismatics Cabinet

About

The Numismatics Cabinet (Gabinete de Numismática) is one of the museum collections that make up the Museum of Porto, housing one of the largest collections of numismatics in Portugal, focusing notably on Greek, Roman, Visigothic, Christian kingdoms, Arab, and Portuguese coins. The collection is currently housed in the Palacete of the Viscounts of Balsemão and was last displayed in Casa do Infante in 2023. Plans to move the collection to a refurbished facility at the former Abrigo dos Pequeninos, announced in 2017, remain incomplete as of February 2024.
