Tonegawa Collection

Coins of al-Andalus

Con nuestro agradecimiento a Tawfiq Ibrahim – Premio Excelente al Mérito Numismático 2023 – por habernos facilitado toda la información de la Colección Tonegawa para generar conocimiento y ampliar su difusión mediante la incorporación a la web de la Asociación Numismática Española (ANE).

The Tonegawa Collection, of Japanese ownership, was commenced in the late seventies. It has grown to its present state mainly by the acquisition of parts of older collections, the purchase of coins from dealers and public auctions. Its central and ongoing emphasis is, undoubtedly, the coins of al-Andalus, though some early North African coins have also been included. The collection attempts to cover, as well as has been possible, all the various periods that make up the numismatic history of al-Andalus. However, in some cases, a selective emphasis has had to be made, concentrating resources on finding and acquiring rare or singular coins. This is specially the case of Almoravid dinars, were, for example, the purchase of the more common and plentiful dinars has, usually, been avoided.

Special thanks should go to Fawzan Barrage, Sebastian Gaspariño and Tawfiq Ibrahim for their help and advice in the construction of the present site*.

This site has been made to facilitate as much as possible the spread of knowledge about the coinage of al-Andalus and is, as such and affirmatively so, an ANTI-COPYRIGHT publication -oratio publicata res libera est- .

Please use it well and for that intended purpose.
