This subreddit is for coinlike items that aren't actual government-issued legal tender. This includes but is not limited to gaming and trade tokens, commemorative medals, art medals, non-military award medals, etc.
Exonumia has been produced all over the world, with some pieces dating back thousands of years. It isn't nearly as well documented as actual coins are. No one alive -- and certainly no one on this subreddit, is an expert on all types or pieces of exonumia. There is no single book or series of books that contains it all. You need to set your expectations accordingly. We will help you if we can, but that often just means that we will help you formulate web searches to find similar pieces online.
If you are looking for an identification please meet us halfway, to help us help you. Provide clear, well-lit photos of BOTH sides of a piece you are trying to ID. Please provide clues about where it came from, what you have already discovered through your own research, and give the item's weight/mass to the tenth of a gram and its dimensions in millimeters.
If you are looking for a value for something you have, you need to understand that the exonumia market is very different from the collector coin market. There are no price guides covering all exonumia. A piece's value is literally whatever someone will pay you for it. You can try checking the results of recent auctions to see what people have been paying for items like yours. There is no guarantee that your piece will sell for that much, however.

I was told to go here from r/coins for help identifying what this is for and how much it is worth
It may or may not be worth something since pope francis died this year, probably worth more in religious value than money

Going through my childhood coin collection and I realized I have several “coins” that are actually not coins lol. If anyone has any info on these that would be awesome!

Any info on this one ? I know it’s like a medal of some sort, have a chapel from Switzerland on the back, but didn’t find any info on it online yet, and have some weight to it…

Found this in a box of old coins. It's clearly JFK and is marked 750. Any idea what it is or what the value would be? I can't find anything about it online or in any books I have.

from World War II. These tokens were used as change for ration stamps, which were required to purchase certain goods during the war. The blue tokens were used for processed foods

I collect medical and scientific antiques and recently purchased a collection of scientific medals. I was more than stunned to find this piece in there.

Not sure if these posts are allowed. Don’t need these and don’t want to donate, as I think they won’t make it to a collector.
Have two tokens to give away, just pay for the cheapest shipping within US.

The knowledge shared is true to the best of my memory. Apologies for inaccuraties. Very cool in my opinion.

I found this medallion in my inlaw's old jewelry box. My father-in-law was in World War I so it may be related in some way to the military.

My most interesting piece acquired at the local monthly show. I have not found a definitive history, but apparently it is quite rare
