coin collection

Assembled monetary pieces

A coin collection is an assembled set of coins, typically gathered for their historical, artistic, or monetary value.

Collectors may focus on particular eras, countries, or denominations: His coin collection includes ancient Roman denarii.

The hobby itself is numismatics, though casual collectors rarely use that term.
