Money makes the world go round. Coins are far more than just a way of paying for something: they reflect the political, cultural and social zeitgeist. The Coin Cabinet at Eggenberg Palace has extraordinary stories to tell about coins in Styria – from the panther thaler minted in Graz to the Celts’ wuschelkopf types, from the gold coin at Flavia Solva reworked into a piece of jewellery through to a Renaissance medal gem that once belonged to Archduke Karl II of Inner Austria.
