Description: | The Fitzwilliam Museum Department of Coins and Medals not only collects and studies coins, tokens and medals but also other coin-related items.
The Departmental holdings in this area include 40 numismatic wax models and 1,000 coin casts, 200 coin weights and approximately 1,000 coin forgeries and electrotypes.
In 2005 the Department received the generous gift of the Rogers Collection of Toy Money from Paul and Bente Withers of Galata Coins. This comprises some 2,000 items from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries replicating coins, tokens, counters, and banknotes in metal, ivory, wood, rubber, plastic, cardboard, and paper. | Subjects: | Numismatics Forgery Models (miniatures) Metrology Toys Coins | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01223 332 923 | Telephone: | 01223 332 900 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:8390 | Go to resource |
