Overview
This HTS category, 7118.90.00.19, encompasses a broad range of "other" coins that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 7118.90.00 subheading. This primarily includes legal tender coins made of precious metal (such as gold, silver, or platinum) that are not collectible or bullion coins, and therefore do not fall under more specific designations. The classification hinges on the coin being recognized as current legal tender within its country of origin, with a face value, and being primarily composed of precious metals.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 7118.90.00.11, which is specifically designated for "Canadian maple leaf" coins. While both may be precious metal coins, the maple leaf designation points to a specific, well-known bullion or collector coin with a unique identity. Therefore, 7118.90.00.19 serves as a residual category for other legal tender precious metal coins that do not fit that particular, more granular classification.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a coin under this heading relies on the exporter or importer demonstrating that the item is indeed legal tender in its country of issuance, is primarily made of precious metal, and does not meet the criteria for more specific coin classifications within HTS Chapter 71.
