The European Cultural Heritage Days are dedicated to monuments and their conservation, as well as raising public awareness of national and common European cultural heritage. They were established in 1991 at the initiative of the Council of Europe and are supported by the Commission of the European Union and the Council of Europe. The Roi Baudouin Foundation in Brussels has the international coordination secretariat. Every year, on the last weekend of September, various events, with a theme that changes every two years, are held in many parts of Europe in or around the monuments, under the general slogan “Europe, a common heritage”.
Τhe Numismatic Museum has been participating in the events of the European Cultural Heritage Days since 2001 by issuing and offering a special medal.
