After spending some time and money collecting FAO coins (still miss some) I'm now into squared coins.
Does anyone here know where I can find/buy a catalogus?

Just do an advanced search on numista for square shape. They come from all over the world and all time periods. Not uncommon. Try triangular coins, I only know of one circulating coin from Cook Islands. I had one to swap and it went in my first swap. Canada issued one, a milk token commemorative. It was not circulating.

I don't know any such catalogue.
Once I made an small overview of types known to me, see this thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic65142.html
I am interested in square-shaped coins (but not tokens).

​Those triangular coins are on my bucket list, but at this moment I'm really into squared and FAO coins.
I'd like to find an online catalogus as the Fiat-Panis one (FAO). :D

​Thanks Zak, that's what I was looking for. Let the hunt to the lost squared ones begin!
