Riyadh: The Museums Commission is set to open the Minted Narratives: Saudi Arabia's Legacy in Coins exhibition at the National Museum in Riyadh's Al-Murabba district. Scheduled to run from September 17 to December 16, 2025, the exhibition will explore the evolution of coins in Saudi Arabia over a span of 1,300 years, from the pre-Islamic era to the modern-day Saudi riyal.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the exhibition aims to reflect the national identity and the historical and economic transformations of the Kingdom through a rare collection of historical coins. Additionally, contemporary artworks inspired by the symbolism of money will be featured, all presented within an innovative design framework.
The exhibition is structured into seven sections, each highlighting different aspects of coins and their cultural significance. This initiative aligns with the Museums Commission's mission to preserve national heritage and enhance Saudi Arabia's cultural presence on a global scale. It also supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to foster a knowledgeable and culturally rooted society.
