Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including those minted by the United States Mint, which produces not only currency but also commemorative and collector's medals. The Julian medals, specifically, were designed by engraver Charles E. Barber and issued in the late 19th century, with the 1884 medal being a notable example. These medals often feature intricate designs and historical significance, making them sought after by collectors. The Philadelphia Mint, established in 1792, is known for producing many iconic pieces in American numismatic history, including both coins and medals that reflect the cultural and historical narratives of the United States.
