Hello,

I have a question about the Exonumia section. What are the differences between the “Event souvenirs” and “Event Medals” categories? I can’t figure out what differentiates them.

Regards,

Hello

There are short definitions in this doc:

Event souvenirs are Souvenir medals -> sold for commercial gain
Event medals are Commemorative medals -> Commissioned by a statesperson, private individual, institution, organisation, or company to be presented as gifts, for informational or commemorative purposes.
Thanks !

How about turning the document into an informational or sticky thread in the Banknote forum? It's a useful guide for Exonumia catalogue users. We could add and develop the short definitions over time.

​Feel free to comment in the doc.

I know Xavier planned many improvements for the Exonumia section, and I think including some info on the types is one of them.
Thanks!
