Mintage

Mintage refers to the total number of coins produced by a mint during a specific time period or for a particular coin series. It indicates how many coins of a certain design, year, or type were created. Mintage figures help collectors and investors assess the rarity and potential value of a coin; generally, a lower mintage suggests a rarer coin, which may be more valuable. These numbers are carefully recorded and published by mints or numismatic organizations, providing insight into the coin's production history and scarcity in the marketplace.
