A British term equivalent to the American 'exonumia,' referring to coin-like objects that are not official currency — things like tokens, medals, badges, counters, and trade coins. Typically used in numismatic and collector circles when cataloguing items adjacent to but distinct from standard coinage. It's a specialist word with very limited everyday usage, primarily appearing in auction catalogues, museum records, and collector publications.
