Strange coin
I've had this coin for as long as I can remember but any effort to try to identify it always ends without answers, hopefully someone here could do better than me....

In this post I am acknowledging people's legitimate concerns, but letting them know that we won't be discussing them on this subreddit going forward. It is just too disruptive.
This is a curated subreddit, and it always has been. That means that stuff gets removed, threads get locked, and sometimes people get banned.
The point of this post isn't that we think that vile pieces of history shouldn't trigger you, and not make you want to tell everyone how horrific they are.
They bother me too, but it serves nothing to turn discussion threads here into holier-than-thou, copycat echo chambers of shame, or raging debates. Don't automatically assume that people who find crazy stuff and post it here are actually evil racist Nazis themselves.
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. Don't reply to them, don't nourish and give oxygen to their trolling. If you do reply to them, you are filling them with glee and escalating the problem. They live for that. For whatever reason this sub tends to attract a lot of trolls, idiots, and assholes. Maybe that's just reddit in general, but in any case we don't want to encourage them.
We get it, racists are shitty, authoritarians of all stripes are shitty, and lots of other stuff posted here was produced by shitty people and depicts shitty things. They are part of history whether we like it or not. Posting them here can help spread awareness of that history, to a degree.
IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT ANYONE HERE SUPPORTS THOSE ATTITUDES. If it becomes obvious that people making these posts have an agenda, we will deal with them.
Thank you.

It reads “ISRAELITISCHE VOLKSKÜCHE”, which according to Google Translate means “Jewish Peoples’ Kitchen” and the other side reads “GEMÜSE” which means vegetables. It measures about 1 1/16” x 9/16”.

Hello, I just discovered this pretty recently in my grandfather’s vast coin collection. I had absolutely no idea what it was when I found it, but figured it looked interesting. After doing some research, I found out that it is an old pre-civil war advertising token for Enoch Long’s daguerreotype gallery. It seems to be pretty rare from what I’ve found so I was just looking for some confirmation. Would getting this professionally graded be a good choice?

This two-shilling piece was issued in 1812 by Richard and Charles Willoughby, who operated a prosperous wine and groceries firm serving the market town of Frome and the adjacent parish of Selwood, both located in Somerset, Britain.
Dalton 70, Rare.

Picked this up in Europe in the 1983 and it is a heavy token/coin/medal. Any help with identification and value would be much appreciated

Our family has had a cottage up in the Muskoka's for 80 yrs, found these kicking around. Bakery tokens from Parry Sound (home of Bobby Orr!).

Arcade games, parking, transit, tax tokens and everything else 🤷🏾♂️

The issuer of this token, the Douglas Bank, was in business for exactly five weeks at the end of 1811, which certainly contributes to the relative scarcity of their copper and silver tokens, most of which were redeemed and melted down immediately upon the breakup of the bank's partnership.

Can anybody tell me what this is??

Looking for some advice on sorting/categorizing.
TL;DR: What categories should I sort my exonumia in to?
I'm a world coin collector, specifically looking for an example of each KM for each country. This means I buy in bulk (usually by pound) and sort the coins in to countries and then check each coin against Numista to see if I have a specimen in my collection or not.
As I find Exonumia in this process I just put it in a jar. Over the years I've amassed a 17 gallon tub of loose exonumia. Everything from Casino coins, to religious tokens, tax tokens, pressed pennies, souvenir medals, and so on and so on. If it's coin shaped and not officially currency, in the tub it goes. I'm finally at a point where I want to take a break from sorting through currency and want to sort exonumia. But I have a few questions:
What categories do you sort your Exonumia in to? Sub Categories? I'll need to break the tub down in to smaller tub categories or sizes, and then down to manageable groups.
Is Numista the best place to look up and catalogue your exonumia? Or is there a site better suited for Exonumia specifically?
Any specific niches or sub categories/series I should keep an eye out for?
I figure for storage I'll just do the same as the world coins and binder/page them with dividers for each category.

Looking through my inherited coin collection, and realized a small selection of the Banff Indian Days Dollars were toning. Did a quick weigh and sure enough, some of the coins appear to be struck in .999 silver. Checking out Numista, looks like there were small quantities struck in .999 silver, and even gold plated, and full 24kt gold versions as well. Quite a interesting find regarding a token from a controversial period in Canadian National Park history.
