The 17th, 18th, and 19th Century tokens of Britain tell the story of our industrial, commercial and social history.  Issued during shortages of official coinage, there are thousands of varieties, many of which very scarce.  Commemorative Medallions come under the classification of Exonumia: Extra-numismatic, coin-like objects.  Commemorating events throughout history, these have been produced as collector’s items and presentation pieces for hundreds of years.  We dedicate a special section of our coin auctions to Exonumia.
