If there is not denomination on it then it is some type of medal. Coins were meant to be spent and have to have a value on them somewhere (except some ancient coins that may not have a denomination). At least every coin I have ever seen had a denomination telling how much that specific coin was worth so when you went to buy something you and the merchant would know the cash value of the coin Report this Post to the Staff

At least every coin I have ever seen had a denomination telling how much that specific coin was worth so when you went to buy something you and the merchant would know the cash value of the coin Most of British coins up to around 1860 did not have the denomination stated on them! They could be distinguished only by size, metal content, and certain elements of the design. But, thank God for catalogs! We can look up what coins have been produced in the past. Lewishaloboy, what you describe doesn't sound like coins. They are indeed either medals or commemorative tokens. If you desire more information post the pictures. Someone may be able to help you with that. And welcome to the forum! Report this Post to the Staff
