A curated collection of coins from mountain expeditions around the world
Each coin in my collection represents more than currency - it's a tangible memory from my adventures around the globe. From the markets of Kathmandu to the villages of the Andes, every piece tells a story of the places I've explored and the people I've met along the way.
This collection spans over 50 countries and includes rare specimens, commemorative pieces, and everyday currency that has traveled with me to some of the world's most remote peaks.
