The November 21–22 exhibition at The Westin Manila connects historical collections with contemporary pop culture through a Silk Road theme.

Minted MNL will bring historical coins, banknotes, trading cards, comics, and memorabilia together at its Year-End Show on November 21–22, 2026, at The Westin Manila Hotel in Mandaluyong City.

Organizers expect more than 70 exhibitors and over 100,000 collectibles at the two-day event, which marks a decade since Minted MNL’s founding in 2016.

Themed “Silk Road: The Exchange That Shaped the World,” the exhibition explores how objects connect people across places and generations. The upcoming dates and venue also appear in recent coverage of the event’s launch.

Different collections, shared curiosity

Minted MNL began with a focus on numismatics—the study and collection of coins, currency, and related objects. Its scope has since expanded to include interests such as sports cards, anime trading cards, comics, and other pop culture memorabilia.

That mix gives visitors different starting points for exploring the exhibition. A banknote can prompt questions about the period in which it circulated, while a comic or trading card can reflect the art and entertainment that shaped a generation.

The Silk Road theme connects these interests through the idea of exchange: objects move between people, carrying stories and cultural meaning alongside their commercial value.

Expertise alongside the exhibition

Organizers say international grading and authentication service providers will participate, giving collectors access to professional expertise in evaluating, authenticating, and preserving items.

The program also includes a dedicated trading card zone, learning sessions, creative workshops, and an auction.

For established collectors, the show offers opportunities to meet dealers and specialists. Students, families, and newcomers can use the exhibition to explore different collecting interests and learn more about the objects on display.

A decade of building a collecting community

According to Minted MNL, its Summer Show earlier in 2026 drew 3,515 attendees, with foreign visitors accounting for 10% of attendance. Visitors included hobbyists, students, dealers, entrepreneurs, and business owners.

The year-end edition aims to bring those different audiences into a shared space while highlighting collecting’s role in preserving historical and cultural stories.
