Ancient Coins Museum of Beijing

The Ancient Coins Museum of Beijing is a part in the rebuilding of Qing Dynasty's Zhenwu Temple (真武庙) and the other in the Arrow Tower of Deshengmen Gate (德胜门箭楼) of Beijing. The tower was built about 500 years ago. It was one of the nine city walls of defense construction in Qing's Beijing.

The exhibition series of "China's Old Currencies" in the Ancient Coins Museum of Beijing displays the earliest Chinese coins that were made of shells and the ones that were produced by cloth, as well as some coins that look like strange ghost faces, very interesting. Ancient copper coins in old China's imperial dynasties, the currency used during the Qing Dynasty and the banknotes that were circulated in the Nationalist Period before 1949 are being exhibited here in the Coins Museum.
