Coins &
Medallions
Coin
A piece of metal intended for use as
legal tender and stamped with
inscriptions and exact monetary value.

Issued by an authority, i.e. central bank,
national bank, monetary authority, etc
that guarantees its weight and purity.
Medallion
A medallion is a piece of metal, usually
carved or engraved; circular (like a coin)
and large, that is used as a work of art,
souvenir, medal, or worn on the body as
a special symbol.

It is struck both by government and
private mints to honour historic events,
anniversaries or other special occasions.

A medallion does not have monetary
value.

Coin: What to look at?
• Authenticity

Coins, issued by an issuing authority, commemorating an event and in
addition being endorsed by a national or international institution have a
high degree of authenticity and are therefore highly numismatic.
• Rarity & Limited Mintage

  The lower the mintage the
  higher the possibility that the
  value of the coin will increase
  since demand is higher than
  supply.
• Policy and Image

 The more conservative, strict
 and stringent the issuing policy
 of the respective authority, the
 better the potential the value of
 a coin will increase.
Type of Coins

• Numismatic Coins
  - Coins issued by the government to celebrate and
    honour important events, anniversaries, etc
  - Can be both precious and non-precious metal
  - Often minted in proof finish, with limited mintage
    and face value
• Bullion
  - Coin with little numismatic value sold for its precious
    metal content and traded at the current bullion price
  - Gold or silver coins, bars or ingots
  - Often struck in prooflike finish or Brilliant
    Uncirculated (BU)
• Circulation Coins:
  - Coins that were minted for commercial use and never
    become a numismatic coin therefore suffers wear and tear;
    a used coin
Commemorative Coin/Medallion Finishing
• Proof coins
  - Coin minted from highly polished planchets
    and dies resulting in a well-struck coin with highly
     reflective fields
  - The mirror-like finish derives from high
    pressure strike in the minting process
• Antique
• Matte
• High Relief
A coin with deep concave fields due to highly
raised designs. High relief coins require extra pressure
to be fully struck and are difficult to stack.
Coin/Medallion Edge

      Plain Edge


      Milled Edge


      Lettered Edge


      Decorated Edge



For the purpose of authenticity
 and as a barrier for copying
Special Techniques



                     • Gold Inlay
• Partial Gold Plating
• Removable Inlay
• Decorative
Coin and Medallion Care
 • Tip 1: Housing
 Keep your coin in the provided
 presentation box.
 • Tip 2: Removing
 Before removing a coin from
 its capsule, consider whether
 it's really necessary.
 • Tip 3: Holding
 Never touch an uncirculated or
 Proof coin anywhere but the
 edge. Wearing clean surgical
 gloves is advised.
 •Tip 4: Storage
 Keep the coin in a dry
 environment with minimal
 changes in average
 temperature.
Coin and Medallion Care
      • Tip 5: Avoid close contact
      Avoid holding numismatic items
      in front of your mouth. Small
      particles of moisture may
      eventually cause spots.

      • Tip 6: Dragging
      Do not drag coins across any
      surface. You can never be too
      careful.

      • Tip 7: Don’t polish
      Polishing with the softest tissue
      or cloth will scratch the coin’ s
      surface.
