need some expert info/advice

Hello I just had a small question if anyone of you guys knows what the X# stands for or what it means (Does it mean it's a medal?)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Such for example on this one. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30255.html
I would like to know that because I've just sent two of those to NGC and I'm now not even sure if they will grade it.

Hello,

I think the coins with #X, are not coins...or are fantasy issue coins. All the fantasy issue coins and other coins for example the latest issues of "Palestine" are with #X and are found only in the World Catalog of Unusual coins.

I did this study a while ago, as I wanted to buy a Liechtenstein coin, and there were plenty of: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/liechtenstein-4.html#devise385 these for reasonable prices, and none in the Catalog of World coins!
So I bought a 1 Krone 1900, more expensive, but at least now I have a coin from Liechtenstein!

OK thanks but for a fantasy coin that would be a high value one http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/WorldCoinPrices.aspx?category=25668&worldcoinid=74892

Maybe it's a medal...at least all the EUR and ECU issues of Liechtenstein in ebay.de are titled as medals. Isn't anybody from Belgium reading this post?

Look what I found! :

Ok perfect thanks that clears up everything so its a Medal but which was used as an unofficial coin. I hope that they'll accept it at NGC.

You are welcome, bitte.

The C, Y, X...are for different catalogues than Krause...Y is for Yeoman I think...obviously X was Krause's unusual coins.

Ha.

Like Eminem said, "So this must mean I'm disgusting / But it's just me I'm just obscene". I put this up cause there's someone on Numista who would get it.

C numbers I think are "Cowan" and K numbers are "Kann". C numbers are for older coinage that haven't been organized by Krause yet, usually old European sovereign coinage. The numbers are usually overwritten by Krause numbers cause the C numbers are organized by ruler instead of design (C#123 for the first leader, C#123a for the second). K numbers are for Chinese coinage and they list pretty much every coin issued by China.

X numbers, as explained, are tokens, fantasies, and medallions that were either officially or unofficially issued. Because they technically aren't "coins" they should go in the tokens section, just saying if you do see one that's not in the tokens section.

Thanks for the great info on the different numbers and their meanings. I just also saw that most coins from the Italian states 19th century too have a C# in Krause's book.
