Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including historical currency, tokens, and medals. Trade tokens, like those cataloged by Rulau, were often issued by private businesses for use in specific regions or transactions, providing a unique glimpse into local commerce and culture. An example includes tokens from the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition, which showcased innovations and attracted visitors, further highlighting the significance of these items in Americana and collectible markets.
