Dear Andyg ,

 

 

Thanks for clarifications about "TEMPLE TOKENS" , do you have any recoemmenddation or catalogue where to identify the difference between "COINS" with respect to "TEMPLE TOKENS"

In general a "coin" will have both a denomination and the name of the issuing country. More often than not it also has a date. (Often, of course, the legends are in the issuing country's language, not necessarily in Roman characters.)

 

A "Temple Token" will have an image or legend with religious significance (again, not necessarily in Roman characters), and almost never has a denomination or date.
