The Ancient Coins Museum consists of Deshengmen Archery Tower and Zhenwu Temple. It is a theme museum primarily emphasizing ancient Chinese coins and paper currency.
With a history of more than 500 years dating back to the Ming Dynasty, Deshengmen Archery Tower features color paintings on its beams, pillars and arches.
The reconstructed Zhenwu Temple displayed a wide range of Chinese currencies, including bronze coins, ancient silver noted and paper currency, all reflecting the social and political climate of the time.
The museum will give visitors a much greater appreciation of Chinese currency and its cultural significance. Experts are also on hand to provide explanation, identification and background on the various forms of currency on display.
