The Aion Collection

Introduced in the seventh century BC, coins were created to simplify and standardise transactions. Over time, they evolved into instruments of propaganda and expressions of art.

These objects allow us to glimpse, and touch, the societies that created them.

This collection takes a journey through history, from its origins to the modern age, using numismatics to explore the civilisations and individuals who shaped our world.

Aion is a Hellenistic deity associated with perpetual, limitless and cyclical time. Aion is understood as the ontological personification of eternity: the time of indestructible permanence.
