![]() While the Ancient Greeks never set foot in Wales, the Romans invaded in AD 48 so there have been a great deal of Roman coins found and reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. ![]() Last time I took a look at the collection of Ancient Greek coins and this week I am back to examine the Roman coin collection. This post is the second in my series of blogs on the numismatics collection at the Museum. Moreover, contrary to alternative investments like whiskey, fine wine, land etc., there are dozens of coin auctions each year, so selling a collection of ancient coins is easy.Hello everyone, my name’s Eirini and I am a student intern in the Archaeology and Numismatics department at NMW, Cardiff. So, a collection of ancient coins that pairs quality to rarity can be a stable diversification in a securities-portfolio. The advantage of ancient coins as an investment is the low correlation with other markets. But then, a carefully composed collection can pay out a good dividend. Ancient coins should ideally be held in portfolio for 20 years or more. And as an investment one must not expect quick gains like in today’s stock market.
