Collectible coins include a variety of categories, among which are historical coins, commemorative pieces, and merchant tokens. Merchant tokens, like those cataloged by Rulau, were often issued by local businesses in the 19th and early 20th centuries as a form of currency and advertising. The 1853 coins from the United States, for example, are notable for their unique designs and significance in American coinage history. These tokens and coins can vary widely in rarity and value, appealing to collectors for their historical context and craftsmanship.
