A medal-coin or non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coin is regarded as legal tender, but it does not circulate for the following reasons:

  • The coin is usually issued as a proof coin only.
  • The coin is sold to collectors at a premium above the face value.

The coins of Bophuthatswana were examples of medal-coins. The Krugerrand is an example of a medal-coin, even though it is also a bullion coin.
