HS Code 7118.10 – Coin (other than gold coin), not being legal tender
HS code 7118.10 is the 6-digit subheading for coin (other than gold coin), not being legal tender. It is used for silver commemorative coins, copper proof coins, nickel collector's sets, bronze historical tokens and platinum numismatic coins (non-gold).
What HS 7118.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers coins that are not made of gold and are not considered legal tender in any country. This category primarily includes collectible coins, commemorative issues, numismatic items, and historical coins whose value is derived from their rarity, historical significance, or artistic merit rather than their face value or intrinsic metal content (if not gold). Importers are typically coin dealers, numismatists, collectors, and specialized auction houses. Exporters include national mints (for non-legal tender commemorative issues), private coin dealers, and individuals selling off collections. The trade is highly specialized, driven by collector demand, historical interest, and market speculation. Authenticity, condition, and provenance are critical factors influencing value. These coins are often traded at prices significantly above their metal content or original face value.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
