subscription : A promise undertaken by a buyer with a mind to buy, at a stated price, a certain number of coins or sets of coins of a special issue that are being or will be minted; they are paid for in a single payment, by advance payment, or in installment payments after an initial account is given. 1, record 1, English, - subscriber

In this form of subscription, the buyer is usually allowed to cancel his order or limit it to a smaller number of coins or sets upon issuance, while the issuing mint guaranties its prices until shipment or guaranties the price of the whole set of coins if paid in a single payment before a stated date. But when the commitment involves precious metal coins to be issued in more than a year, it is possible that the prices be established only once the coins have been issued. In this case, the buyer will have to pay the market price before receiving the coins; he may also choose to cancel his order or limit it to a smaller number of coins, but not after shipment of the coins. 1, record 1, English, - subscriber

souscription; achat par souscription : Engagement à acheter, contre paiement d'un prix convenu à l'avance, une pièce ou une série de pièces d'une émission spéciale et dont le monnayage est en cours ou à venir; le paiement peut se faire en un seul versement, par paiement anticipé, ou par étalement des paiements une fois un paiement initial versé. 1, record 1, French, - souscripteur

L'achat par souscription sous-entend habituellement confirmation de l'intention d'acheter au moment de l'émission du produit; l'acheteur par souscription a donc droit de se désister alors que, de son côté, la Monnaie émettrice garantit habituellement ses prix jusqu'à la livraison ou garantit un prix global pour l'ensemble des pièces si payées en un seul paiement avant une date donnée. Il se peut cependant que, dans le cas de pièces en métal précieux devant être frappées dans plus d'un an, le prix ne puisse en être établi qu'au moment de l'émission; dans ce cas, l'acheteur devra les payer aux prix du marché avant d'en prendre livraison, ou pourra toujours annuler sa commande ou la modifier, mais ne pourra plus le faire une fois la ou les pièces reçues. 1, record 1, French, - souscripteur
