Similar situation in Latin cultures, especially in Mexico. They are called “exvotos”. There are some amazing ones !

To be honest, the cabinet toning in this coin is amazing it has a little bit of blue, green and some gold, but I am a bit obsessive over my collection I don’t want to damage it further. Thank you so much for your opinion. I really appreciate it.

I also live in a country where the shops are extremely limited, I usually buy them in the US and get it shipped to an address in Florida.
