Portraits on coins and medals

The British Museum, until 18 July 2004

Before the widespread use of photography and the printed image, coins and medals could transmit an image of a ruler far more widely than any other medium – and were therefore an important and convenient way to consolidate power and assert influence. As artefacts, they remain a fascinating record of images of people who lived in times long past.

Collector Božena KOUTNÍKOVÁ (1876 – 1942)

Božena Koutníková (*1876 in Nová Paka +1942 in Čelákovice) had thus made her dream come true to live in the Elbe region that attracted her by its nature and especially by its famous citizens.
