Classification

Legal tender does not describe the sales channel

Each record keeps face value, original issue price, metal, sales method, quantity semantics, and operational issue stage separate. A premium collector coin remains legal tender, but it was not necessarily intended for ordinary change.

Object boundary

Coin, product, medal, and packaging are different objects

The issue register describes legal-tender coins. A Japan Mint set may include those coins plus a non-legal-tender medal, case, certificate, and sales record; the mint-products catalog models those relationships without duplicating coin identities.

Program browser

One program hierarchy, many browsing lenses

Routes below point back to one canonical program and issue register. They do not create duplicate coins.
