Monakotik

Coinage in Basque Territories

Monakotik is a Basque who lives in the vicinity of the German city of Munich. Since childhood, he has been a lover of stories and history.

After finding an old coin of Ferdinand VII in the fields of our farm, at a young age he began sorting and collecting the different pesetas that his mother had brought from the weekly market.

Work and family have taken him far from the Basque Country, but this blog allows him to maintain contact with his language and also with his great passion, coinage.

He is not an expert in numismatics or history, but using a few specimens from his modest coin collection as a guide, he would like to share the following journey with you:

A fascinating history of coins minted in Basque territories, written in Basque... always with the following motto:

“Ondo esanak gogoan hartu, eta gaizki esanak barkatu… ah eta ahalean jakinerazi”
