"We miss a room of numismatics"
What is the size of the museum collection? How many coins are we talking about?
We have 16,284 units among coins, paper coins and punches. To this must be added the more than 2,000 coins that appeared in the Cathedral of Pamplona and San Fermín Aldapa during the cataloguing process at the moment. So we’re talking about more than 18,000 coins in total.
And how important is this collection compared to other museums or centers?
The collection is really important, but it is difficult to make sure comparisons. Other centres in the Spanish State are notable for their numismatic importance: The National Art Museum of Catalonia, the National Archaeological Museum, the museum of the Casa de la Moneda in Madrid... It is among those in Navarre. However, here we have very interesting collections, such as 715 copies of the Moneda de Navarra. In addition, we have a collection of coin punches that stands out worldwide.
What time are we talking about?
We have a large collection of Hispano-Roman coins, among which are the coins of the Barskunes factory. There are also medieval, Arab, modern, contemporary...
Which of these would you highlight?
At least the museum has ten coins that are unique in the world, from different kingdoms: Felipe V.aren two tarjas from the reign of Sancho Ramirez, Sancho VI. Of the wise... We have recently purchased two pieces of very rare gold, as there are very few coins of this type that have been preserved. Fernando I.aren and Carlos I.aren are two double reales.
The Navarre Coin was issued in Pamplona for many centuries and also in France. What was its importance?
The currency, always and everywhere, is the most well-known instrument of attraction of independence and political power, the image of historical personality.
The Chamber of Comptos was the institution that controlled the finances of the kingdom of Navarre, where the coins were issued. Has the Museum of Navarre acquired the heritage of this institution?
Before arriving at the Museum of Navarre, the press of issuance of the currency, the troquels, the cash box, etc., were preserved inside the building of the Chamber of Compots. The institutional relationship between the Chamber of Comptos and the Museum of Navarre is perfect. At the moment, the museum shows this press for the issuance of the currency.
The museum has received coins in different ways: contributions, purchases of subastas...
Yeah, that's right. In the history of numismatic museology in Navarre, the first batch we received was from the Cathedral of Pamplona. There have also been coincidental discoveries, such as the Treasure of Ordo. It appeared in Estella in 1949 in a mug of clay, among which were the coins of the caliphs Hixen I and Abderraman II of Córdoba.
What part of the coin collection is currently on display at the museum?
Only some Spanish-Roman coins and the press for the issuance of the Chamber of Compttos currency. In fact, the architectural transformation of the museum did not foresee a numismatic room. Before that there was a room like this, and now we miss it. However, when we could, we left all the material numismatics for different exhibitions.
And what approach do you take to the future for the dissemination and knowledge of this heritage?
Continue cataloguing, expanding and communicating the numismatic fund: facilitating access for researchers, improving the numismatic section of the museum...
