Belgium 1880.50th Anniversary of Independence

Its commemorative coin,token or medal?Mintage 6714,but u can see this everywhere :D

I assume medal. Not in the Numista catalog as far as I can tell. Definitely not a coin because there is no denomination but is considered exonumia. Here is a similar example:

N#224765

Perhaps this question should be placed in the proper forum : EXONUMIA

I think this “coin” just like Swiss shooting festival 5 francs or sample coin ,because the silver content,weight and size like the normal 5 francs,but exonumia also right.Thanks reply

You are welcome but you made no mention of any of that information in your initial post.  Silver content, weight, etc. Hard to make specific identifications without specific information.

It's this one. A commemorative 5 Franc token with the same weight and silver purity as the normal 5 Belgian Franc coins at the time. I'm not sure if these circulated, but I do know the commemorative 5 & 10 cent tokens circulated.

So yeah, this one is in the coin catalogue, not the exonumia catalogue.

Thanks.In fact,i like the design of this coin.It reminds me another beautiful coin:Italy 5 lire in 1911,and its also to celebrate the 50th anniversary of independence,but that is much more expensive than this.

only as a comment:

In my old (1965) Yeoman's catalogue it is listed like a commemorative coin, together with 1fr and 2fr for this occasion.
