The Imperial Numismatic Museum is a collection of coins and banknotes founded by Emperor Jonathan I of Austenasia on Imperium Day 2018. Most of the Museum is usually located in the Imperial Residence, but various parts of the collection are regularly rotated between different properties for security reasons, and although Crown property the Museum is freely available to public view by appointment.

The founding items of the Museum were those in the private numismatic collection of Jonathan I. These coins and notes have been added to over time, with several donations and acquisitions made.

In accordance with the Imperial Edict which established the Museum, coins and banknotes which are discovered as treasure on Crown property are to be donated to the Museum. Furthermore, in accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Commemorative Coins Act 2018, one coin from every issue of Austenasian coins minted by the Treasury is automatically donated to the Museum.

The contents of the Museum are divided into eight collections, namely the Imperial, Micronational, Euro, Pre-Euro, British, Miscellaneous (Old World), Miscellaneous (New World), and Emperor Father Terry Crown Collections.

Imperial Collection

The Imperial Collection aims to collect coins depicting Emperors recognised by Austenasia as having held imperium. Only imperial monarchies the coins of which tended to display a portrait of the emperors are included in this collection; others, such as Ottoman and Japanese coins, are included elsewhere in the Museum.
