Numismatics is the study of coins and other currency units and is usually associated with the appraisal and collection of rare coins. Numismatists study the physical properties, production technology, and historical context of specimens of currency.
Numismatics is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. Numismatic value may be used to refer to the value in excess of the monetary value conferred by law.

Request Help Identifying Old Coin - Authentic? Value?
Hi all,
I purchased a large lot from a collector and I'm slowly working through the coins and paper currency. I have a question regarding this coin - I'm not sure if it is real, or how to definitively identify it's age and origin. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
Back side has a deposit on it, I didn't want to scrape off.
