False! A story of deception, art and greed

Until July 18, the National Archaeological Museum presents an exhibition referring to the different coins that have been forged through different moments in history.

The counterfeiting of coins has been going on since almost the invention of it already around the year 600 BC Whether it was out of necessity or out of sheer greed and greed for wanting to get more money, or for wanting to deceive the market, this "art" has remained and traveled many moments in history.
