Gold and silver have held a special place in the history of money for centuries. Circulation and commemorative coins were minted from them, they were used to store the value of assets, and their mutual ratio was one of the more important issues of monetary policy and trade. For numismatists, that ratio is not only
In phaleristics, an auxiliary historical science that deals with the study of decorations, medals, orders, commemorative plaques, military insignia, and related items, the term miniature has a very clear meaning.

That is precisely what happened in 2015, when Belgium planned to issue a commemorative 2-euro coin marking the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

We live in a numismatic present in which the criterion of hardness of value has become almost absolute. Everything has its price, everything is valued, and so is old money. In such an environment, numismatics has partly adopted standards from philately, where the perfection of preservation plays a key role. Coins and banknotes are valued
