Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical coins, commemorative coins, bullion coins, and merchant tokens. Merchant tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, often served as currency in local economies and were issued by businesses for use in transactions. An example from the mid-19th century is the merchant token from 1850, which may have limited circulation and designs specific to a local merchant or community. The value of such tokens can vary widely based on rarity, condition, and historical significance.
