About This Museum

People often wander into our little museum on Garibaldi Square curious about what stories these tiny pieces of metal and paper could possibly tell. They quickly find out that the history of a nation is written in its currency and postage, from the first Sammarinese coins minted to secure independence to the intricate stamps that carried news across the republic's mountain borders. It’s a quiet, unassuming place where you can spend an hour completely absorbed, holding a tangible piece of time in the palm of your hand. You leave with a real sense of how this small republic has maintained its identity for so many centuries.

Collection Highlights

Look for the very first coins issued by the Republic in the 1860s, a powerful statement of sovereignty. The philately collection is just as impressive, particularly the early 20th-century issues with their beautiful, classic engravings.

Visitor Information

Tucked away in Piazzetta Garibaldi, it's easy to fit into an afternoon stroll through the old town. It's small enough that you won't feel rushed, but packed with enough detail to satisfy any history buff.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a typical stone building that blends right into the historic city center, its humble exterior gives no hint of the treasures inside.
