The 483 stolen coins were discovered in 1999 during excavations at Munching.
According to German news agency DPA, authorities say the coins are worth millions of euros.
"The loss of the Celtic-era treasure is a disaster," said Markus Blum, Bavaria's minister for science and arts.
"The loss of these coins as a symbol of our history is irreparable."
He further said that the thieves have shown astonishing criminal ingenuity.
Police have appealed to the public if anyone has seen suspicious people around the museum or has any information about the thieves to share with the police.
