About Us

The Julius-Maximilians-University of Würzburg (JMU) holds about 1.200 coins, medals and para-numismatic objects from the 7th BCE to modern times with a focus on Greek and Roman coins. Due to the near complete destruction in World War II the coin cabinet in the Martin von Wagner Museum (MvW) is mainly build by donations after 1945 and by a few selected acciquistions. The the most important of those donations is the Coll. Herbert Wellhöfer – c. 400 classical Greek coins with an emphasis on iconography and aesthetics.
