Collectible coins encompass various types, including currency from different countries, historic coins, and specialty items like trade tokens. Trade tokens, such as those cataloged by author Walter Rulau, were often issued by businesses in the 19th century as a substitute for currency. The 1868 trade tokens from the United States represent a unique facet of numismatic history, reflecting local commerce and economic practices of the time. These tokens are valued by collectors for their historical significance and artistic designs.
