Spanish officials recently unveiled a trove of priceless Ancient Roman coins, marking the first time the massive collection has been put on public display.

The National Archaeological Museum in Madrid recently announced the Treasure of Tomares exhibit in a press release.

Discovered during a construction project in Tomares, Spain, in 2016, the collection consists of over 50,000 coins.

The coins date between the late third century and the early fourth century A.D.

Subsequent investigations revealed this location corresponded to an olive estate of ancient Hispalis, the Roman-era Seville.

The museum added, To reinforce the historical context, the exhibition is complemented by a selection of this type of coin, bronze pieces with a silver surface coating belonging to the nine emperors who succeeded during this period, in addition to seven specimens considered unique due to the exceptional iconography of their reverses.

The collection is the largest assortment of Roman coins discovered in Spain and one of the largest in the world.
