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.

Hello all,
I only collect demonetised coins, and I wanted to know what coins of Saudi Arabia specifically were demonetised.
Any idea where I can get that info?
On Numista it will say but I’m sceptical that it’s up to date or all correct. For example it has Faisal era Halalat demonetised for 10 and 50, but not 5 - seems unlikely to me.
Thanks
I found this coin-like thing in my grandfather's closet. To provide some context, we live in Assam (state in India), specifically in Dibrugarh. My grandfather's family has been here since before independence(1947). When I asked my grandfather he said he did not know what this was.
I am pretty sure it us not an authentic relic, probably a replica of some kind, but I'm still curious to know what exactly thus is. So far, I've come to the conclusion that the script is similar to Arabic. The coin is as heavy as 2 ₹10 coins and the diameter is roughly 3.5cm.
Please, help me find out what this could be.
I've been gifted an old collection of coins and I'm looking to organize/display them. The coin album I got is too small (my mistake) and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good brand etc , or a different way of storing them? the biggest ones are 3cm across. thank you! :)
