@Xavier you have another possible duplicate here (in first message).

I fixed the description of the type 192 → Good luck tokens.

I would prefer keeping a category for East Asian charms distinct from western luck tokens. They have a different history, they usually have a different shape, and there are many of them, even if the category on Numista is quite small for the moment.

We have a lot of New Year tokens too. Maybe they could deserve a separate category too. 

What do you think about the following structure?

• Spiritual tokens
  • Religious tokens
    Tokens that are used during religious activities.
  • Good luck tokens
    Tokens that are believed to bring luck to their holder.
    • Asian charms
      Coin-like objects that are believed to offer spiritual protection or attract good luck in East Asian cultures.
    • New Year tokens
      Tokens gifted around the new year and believed to bring luck.

Ok, I translated.

I agree. What about the Western lucky tokens? A new category here?

But Good luck tokens are tokens or medals? Do you buy something with they?

I guess they are tokens, with no value to buy things…

There are not “Western lucky tokens” here:

• Spiritual tokens
  • Religious tokens
    Tokens that are used during religious activities.
  • Good luck tokens
    Tokens that are believed to bring luck to their holder.
    • Asian charms
      Coin-like objects that are believed to offer spiritual protection or attract good luck in East Asian cultures.
    • New Year tokens
      Tokens gifted around the new year and believed to bring luck.

What would the tree of types look like? An example:

• Spiritual tokens
  • Religious tokens
    Tokens that are used during religious activities.
  • Good luck tokens
    Tokens that are believed to bring luck to their holder.
    • Asian charms (now “Charms”)
      Coin-like objects that are believed to offer spiritual protection or attract good luck in East Asian cultures.
    • Western lucky tokens
      Coin-like objects that are believed to offer spiritual protection or attract good luck in Western cultures.
    • New Year tokens
      Tokens gifted around the new year and believed to bring luck.

Perhaps I would replace “Coin-like objects” with “Coin-like tokens” in the descriptions to avoid misunderstandings and saying they are tokens.
