The exhibition 'Vitrine de Curiosidades | Sycees, Lingotes de Prata Chineses' offers a unique glimpse into the use of sycees, silver ingots from China. These fascinating items were used during the Qing Dynasty for high-value transactions and tax payments. The sycees on display were part of a collection donated to the Museu de Angra do Heroísmo by Luís Filipe Thomaz. This exhibition is a part of the museum's Numismatics and Notaphily Management Unit, showcasing the historical and cultural significance of these rare objects.
