Ephemera: Postcards to learn about international currencies
31 / 05 / 2025

These postcards from the end of the 19th century show the legal tender coins in each country, as well as their equivalence with the main currencies. Since coins have existed, there have been those who have wanted to collect them, not so much for their economic value but for their historical and artistic interest. The purpose of these postcards must therefore be understood as threefold: a practical way to learn about the exchange rate, an artistic way to learn about how each country illustrates its coins, and finally, a catalogue of the coins of each country for the collector.
