Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including historical currency, commemorative pieces, and tokens. Tokens are typically issued by private entities, often functioning as substitutes for currency or promotional items. In the context of the United States, tokens have played a significant role in the economy, particularly during times when regular currency was scarce. The North West Company Tokens from 1820 represent a unique category of trade tokens issued by this historic fur trading company in North America, which were used in commerce and as a means of promoting the company's goods and services.
