Numista has these types of medals (among others):
- Commemorative medals
Medals commemorating or celebrating something or somebody.- Personality medals
Medals which theme is the celebration of a personality and their personal events. - Visit medals
Medals commemorating the visit of some important person to some place. - Event medals
⚠️It has not description.
- Personality medals
- Souvenir medallions
Medallions and tokens, sold or given as souvenirs to the visitors of some place or event.
I have these series of medals, everything have now type souvenir medallions:
- https://en.numista.com/catalogue/series.php?id=6788 13 about personalities, 1 about a city
- https://en.numista.com/catalogue/series.php?id=2469 14 about castles
These medals were not sold or given at any visit of place or event, they were sold with a newspaper. So these are not souvenir medallions. Neither are related with an event.
The 13 medals about personalities can be personality medals, but the others do not fit any type (I think!).
Could be added a new type “Medals > Commemorative medals > Place medals”? Optionally, visit medals could be a subtype:
- Commemorative medals
Medals commemorating or celebrating something or somebody.- Place medals
Medals which theme is a place- Visit medals
Medals commemorating the visit of some important person to some place.
- Visit medals
- Place medals
As another option, the description of souvenir medallions could be modify
Medallions and tokens, sold or given as souvenirs to the visitors of some place or event.
→
Medallions and tokens, sold or given as souvenirs of some place or event.
but would overlap with event medals.
