The Numismatic Cabinet is a permanent exhibition based on the collections of the National Museum in Kielce. It exhibits coins and banknotes that were in circulation in the historical northern Małopolska region. An emphasis has been put on the treasures found in the Świętokrzyskie region, including those from ancient times and the middle ages, as well as modern times. It consists of over twenty-two thousand objects and forms a starting point of the history of money on our lands. The Numismatic Cabinet also displays a legal tender from the times of the Piast and Jagiellonian dynasties, as well and coins from the Vasa period, temporally connected with the Former Palace of Cracow Bishops – a division of the National Museum in Kielce. Exhibits documenting a wider context of the history of the country will surely be of interest to the visitors. They include a true rarity, a two zloty coin from the time of the Duchy of Warsaw minted during the siege of Zamość in 1813. The exhibition also highlights banknotes, which are small works of art designed by famous artists. The role and evolution of money, told through the prism of homeland history, will lead the visitor through to the 1990s.

Project implemented with the National Bank of Poland as part of the Economic Education program.
