Alpha Bank Coins Debut in Nicosia Museum Exhibition

WHY IT MATTERS

The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into Cyprus’s numismatic heritage, linking past economies to modern identity and providing educational opportunities for students and the public.

What happened

A temporary exhibition titled "Messages on Metal. A Timeless Dialogue with Cyprus" has opened at the Leventis Municipal Museum in Nicosia, showcasing 136 coins for the first time. The display combines 110 pieces from Alpha Bank’s Numismatic Collection with 23 from the museum’s own holdings and three from the Leventis Gallery. The coins are arranged into three themes—Transaction, Narrative, and Symbolism—highlighting how currency reflects economic activity, historical narratives, and cultural identity across the Eastern Mediterranean. Alongside the display, a bilingual scholarly book edited by Dr Dimitra Tsangari will be released, and the museum will host lectures, guided tours, and educational sessions for families and students until January 10.
