Our Story

World Capital Coins was founded by Carlos Barrios, a numismatist and coin dealer with over 30 years of experience in the coin and precious metals industry, based in Washington, D.C.

What began as a personal passion for collecting has grown into a trusted source for rare and collectible coins from around the world. Carlos brings a unique perspective to the business — with more than 20 years in executive banking and finance, he developed a deep appreciation for currency, monetary history, and the craftsmanship behind the world's most remarkable coins.

What We Specialize In

Over three decades, Carlos has traveled extensively throughout Russia, Spain, and Mexico, building relationships with collectors and dealers and developing a deep expertise in the numismatics of these regions. That firsthand knowledge is at the heart of what World Capital Coins offers:

• Spanish Colonial and Historic Coins — Escudos, pesetas, and other coins spanning centuries of Spanish history and its global empire

• Mexican Numismatics — Silver and gold coins reflecting Mexico's rich minting tradition, from colonial reales to modern bullion

• World Silver and Gold Bullion — Investment-grade coins and rounds, including American Silver Eagles, Australian Kangaroos, and other sovereign mint products

• Commemorative and Proof Coins — Beautifully struck limited-edition coins from mints around the world
