The medals and coins, including circulation coins and commemorative coins, bear the date of minting. Their value is determined by their artistic design, the value of the precious metals they contain, the limited series in the case of commemorative coins, and by the nominal face value in the case of circulation coins. However, in addition to their material worth, they also have historical and numismatic value.
