Collectible coins, or numismatic items, encompass a wide range of currencies minted for purposes beyond general circulation, often valued for their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The Sou M, a form of currency used during the French New World period, includes coins minted in the 18th century, such as a specific example from 1740. The Tours mint in France produced coins used in the colonies, reflecting the economic exchanges between Europe and the Americas during that era. Collectors often seek out such coins for their unique historical context and connection to early American history.
