White Gold traces the evolution of visual imagery in coinage, beginning with the earliest designs, which resemble Near Eastern seals and take their inspiration from contemporaneous Near Eastern art.
The exceptional display of the first coins ever minted, issued in western Asia Minor (modernday Turkey) from the 7th century BCE highlight the diversity of the subjects and figures and allow the visitors to experience the original ancient coins as well as their impressive artistic value.
