There is a difference between commemorative coins and medals, although it may not seem so at first glance. Both of these categories are interesting for collectors, but each one is a little different.
Coins are official currency. At first glance, a coin can be distinguished from a medal by the fact that it has a face value stamped on it. National banks have the exclusive right to issue coins.
Collector coins and commemorative medals are mainly minted from precious metals - gold and silver. Commemorative coins and medals increase in value because they are issued in limited editions. Thanks to this, they are sought after by collectors.
In the case of commemorative coins and medals, we most often encounter the highest quality PROOF. Thanks to this embossing, the relief of the coin's motif stands out against a high-gloss background.
Commemorative medals are not money and do not have a stamped face value - so you cannot pay with them. Thanks to this, we can meet a larger selection of motifs for commemorative medals. They are not as conservative as commemorative coins. Commemorative medals commemorate various personalities, events and anniversaries.
In our case, they are important sports figures who have achieved significant success during their lifetime. Like coins, commemorative medals are minted in smaller quantities. This makes them rare and their value increases.
Therefore, it is an ideal choice of a reasonable investment that combines art with precious metal.
