Coin or medal – to the untrained eye, many pieces appear almost identical, but for collectors, the clear distinction is crucial. Because it determines how a piece is classified numismatically, what value it receives in the value system, and what place it occupies in one’s own collection. In our article “Medals vs. Coins – the clear difference for collectors” we show step by step how you can reliably recognize both categories and why face value, mint and minting authority play such a central role.

If you would like to check how to correctly classify your own pieces and what this means in practice when building, buying and selling your collection, you will find all the background information, examples and explanations in the full article on our website.
