VOCABULARY QUESTION: EXONUMIA ADJECTIVES

Ron Abler writes: "I have a question that I would like to
pose to the members of the E-Sylum, because I cannot think
of a more qualified audience to provide a thoughtful and
definitive answer.  I collect medals and tokens, which makes
me an exonumist, one who studies exonumia (more than one of
an exonumium, I presume).  That takes care of the nouns, but
what about the adjective?  Do I collect objects that are
exonumic, exonumical, exonumial, or what?"

[Good question, and I'll expand it as follows.  In the U.K.,
the field known in the U.S. as exonumia is paranumismatics.
So what are the adjectival forms of these two words?  -Editor]
