Year of 1974 has Stylized letters, different font

Welcome to Numista.

You are correct, this is an error on Numista. As you can see in Ole Sjoelund's documentation on the coin page, 1974 is mentioned as minted in Shanghai with stylized letters but on the year line itself it's still is with modern letters.
If you want to, you can make a change request yourself too. Click on the link "Modify or add data on this page" at the bottom of the coin page. In the next screen correct the mistake. Use the link to this forum post in the "Sources" box and click on "Modify data".

​Thank you pal! I've tried, but doesn't work. it says “The list of years is complete and has been verified. Most requests to add new year entries are sent for the wrong coin type. If you are sure you own this coin with a date that is not listed here, you can ask to have it added through the forum and include a picture of your coin in your message.”

That's why I posted this. :)

I've tried it myself and it was no problem. So the change request is made, now it's just waiting for approval.

The comment says: the list of years is complete and has been verified. So you can't add another year, or change a year (all the years are grey which means you can't change them). But you do can change all the other boxes, so I've exchanged "Modern letters" by "Stylized letters, different font" without a problem. Did you try that too or did you just stop after reading the comment?

I can change it, but ​I couldn't confirm whether it has "Modern letters", so I wanted to add a new one.
