Many times I have seen&nbsp; small sized medals listed as a tokens.&nbsp; To my way of thinking a medal commemorates or honors something while a token is a money substitute or at least good for something at the time of issue.&nbsp; For example Civil War tokens are tokens, even the Patriotics without&nbsp; “Good For” statements did or could&nbsp; circulate as one cent. There for a “Token of&nbsp; Appreciation” is usually a medal.&nbsp; For example this rare Franco Prussian War&nbsp; Prisoner of War Camp Guards medal is really a medal in spite of its small size.[ATTACH=full]1095128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1095129[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
