Minting the currency:
Money has been an important element at all times since its appearance.
A workshop is offered to discover and manipulate history through money. We now present about twenty historical matrices, among which the denier of James I of Aragon, the gros of Philip III, the obole of Melgueil or the denier of Ferdinand II of Aragon.
You will observe, compare and even strike these pieces as they were at the time, then leave with a unique souvenir. A journey through time and a fun, educational experience for all

About the location

Musée Joseph Puig

42 Av. de Grande Bretagne, 66000 Perpignan, France

Pyrénées-Orientales

In 1926, Joseph Puig bequeathed his collection of coins and medals to the city of Perpignan, as well as the "Villa les Tilleuls", with the intention that this building should not receive any other purpose than that of being converted into a museum. The collection bequeathed by Joseph Puig consisted of some 30,000 coins, medals and numismatic objects. The city has enriched it and made this fund one of the most important in France: the museum now has 45,000 pieces from all eras and all countries, from the first currencies to the euro.
