8. Numizmatyka:
Zbiory Działu Numizmatyki liczą ponad 30 tys. zabytków pochodzących z czasów starożytnych po najnowsze. Historia gromadzenia publicznych zbiorów numizmatycznych sięga XIX w. i związana jest z muzeami szczecińskimi powstałymi na bazie zainteresowań kolekcjonerskich miłośników i badaczy zachodniopomorskiej historii i starożytności związanych z Towarzystwem Historii i Starożytności Pomorza. Zabytki numizmatyczne pozyskiwano przede wszystkim dzięki odkryciom i znaleziskom.
