Commemorative coins are specifically designed to record and honor important events, people and places. In ancient times they were also used to disseminate news throughout the country. Just about every nation throughout recorded history has issued commemorative coins. In modern times some coins are made to circulate alongside regularly issued coins and others are specially minted for coin collectors.
In a more general sense, a commemorative coin is a circulating coin that commemorates a certain person, place, or event. Commemoratives are usually only issued for one year, although they are sometimes extended, and they are characterized by the fact that they deviate from the “normal” or regular issue coins.
