Jaca shows 200 coins that lived its history
Until 13 September the Diocesan Museum gathers 200 Iberian, Roman, and medieval coins from three collections, with 18:00 tours.
Diario del Alto Aragón (Ricardo Grasa, 29 August 2026) covers the opening of Las monedas que vivieron nuestra historia at the Diocesan Museum of Jaca: about 200 Iberian, Roman, and medieval coins, with free admission from 28 August to 13 September.
Three private collections
The show, organised by the Sancho Ramírez Association and the museum — with the Provincial Council of Huesca, the Instituto de Estudios Altoaragoneses, and the city council — gathers the collections of Juan Carlos Moreno, Juan Mesado, and José María Martínez. The members who installed the cases will give guided visits every day at 18:00.
From Iberian Jaca to Sancho Ramírez
Among the oldest pieces are six coins about 2,200 years old. Martínez notes that Jaca issued Iberian coinage and that the first king to strike in the city was Sancho Ramírez, with types close to those of Navarre, France, and Catalonia. The Romans brought issues from the Italian peninsula; Visigothic pieces are scarce, some of them gold. The last cases show books on local coinage and history.
