About the company:
The Beijing Museum of Ancient Coins is housed in the medieval Deshengmen watchtower. It is one of two surviving watchtowers that guarded the entrance to the inner city during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The tower is almost 32 meters high and is one of the key cultural and historical relics of Beijing. In 1993, a museum of ancient coins was opened there.
The permanent exhibition of the museum displays about a thousand Chinese bronze and silver coins and paper notes from the most ancient samples to the modern currency of the PRC. In addition, the museum of ancient coins hosts temporary thematic exhibitions.
