Tokens and Commemorative Medals

Tokens and commemorative medals represent fascinating collecting areas beyond official coinage. Tokens are privately issued coin-like pieces that served commercial or institutional purposes, from tradesman's tokens to industrial and transport pieces. Commemorative medals celebrate significant events, achievements, or personalities without being legal tender, ranging from royal occasions to military victories and notable anniversaries. Our specialists understand the historical contexts, issuing authorities, and rarity factors that determine value in both these distinctive numismatic categories.
