Description

Ancient coins are an amazing window into history – rare, valuable and often beautiful. This family-friendly show – not just for kids – mixes humour, hands-on demonstrations and amazing images. Hold actual ancient coins! Learn about Axum (the first Christian kingdom in Africa), early British kingdoms like Mercia, the Hunnic kingdoms, Baktria (Alexander the Great's wealthy, orphaned Central Asian kingdom, which spread Buddhism to China), Sogdiana and Khwarezmia. See how coins were hammered and hear wild stories of pirate treasure, massive gold coins, forgeries and huge buried hoards.
