Collectible coins include various types such as numismatic coins, which are valued for their age, rarity, and historical significance, and bullion coins, which are primarily valued for their metal content. Medals, often distinct from coins, are typically issued to commemorate events or individuals and can hold numismatic value as well. In the context of the United States, the Rhode Island Ship Medals, also known as the Rhode Island State Ship Medals, were issued in the 19th century to honor specific vessels and their contributions, reflecting both historical maritime significance and collectible appeal.
