I wonder what to do with the "heraldic eagles" now that we have the tag "eagle"?
I'd say, as long as it's an eagle :D
Sapientiae plerumque stultitia est comes.
Si c'est un grand plaisir d'être reconnu par ses amis, c'est peut-être encore plus flatteur d'être reconnu par ses adversaires.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
I would also prefer to be able to differenciate between "eagle" and "heraldic eagle"
By extension, also between wild animals and heraldic animals (eg. this heraldic lion looks very lifelike, but is just part of the CoA ... there are no wild lions in Paraguay last time I checked )
Either a separate tag is to be used for heraldic animals, or an additional tag for "heraldic" can be added. But then we also need the possibilty to exclude tags in a search (not possible richt now as far as I know)

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
Pejounet meant that there is a blurry line between Coat of Arms and Eagle (other animals), Tags should be joining coins with similar motives, and it is arguable, whether anyone who would like to see coins with eagles would consider these, where eagle is part of CoA as such.
I would not consider these coins as something that should be tagged with Eagle tag, I would rather go for CoA.
I would like to group/list/search all my coins issued during Spanish Empire which are classified in different issuers now(e.g. Spain, Peru, Philippines, Mexico...)
would it be feasible create a category tag Empire with subcategory for corresponding Empires
e.g. Spanish Empire, Ottoman Empire, German Empire...
Now that the banknote section is up and running, would it be appropriate to add a "Note on note" tag that would be analogous to the already available "coin on coin" tag?
Buildings >> Bank (lots of notes display their Central Bank)
Buildings >> Historical Ruins
Famous people >> Fighter (I just felt that we need to have a category for some guys who lead a local revolt against the colonizers but not a military or politician, e.g this guy: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note203209.html)
Verweis : "el182592"Hi,
At this moment we can tag “coin on coin”.
But is it possible adding the tag “banknote on coin??
I got these coins:
Hoping that tag will be added soon.
Hi,
Did not get any reaction.
Can this TAG be added soon??
And in the category "Famous people": Royalty. Princess Diana alone already stands for dozens and dozens of coins and there are so many others princes and princesses, wifes/husbands of monarchs etc. Now we only have Monarch and they don't fit there.
Thanks Xavier, but this appears to be more of a conversation about adding different thematic tags under an existing heading. The suggestion made about Insurance Tags is about adding an entirely new heading to the catalogue (see comments and photos on the other conversation about Insurance Tags).
Also - it would be useful if people add photos of what they are commenting on.
And what about my grandson - even though he is not a fictional character, he is as old as a coin when he gets baptized in front of our chapel, only the priest will be different-I asked the two granddaughters and two grandsons who wanted to be on the coin?
they refused and only "Matěj-Štepán" showed his approval and only if he has muscles, then it is fictitious and the boy will grow up in the future:
The old/first series of “A je to!” is the best cartoons ever! Nothing beats this. I most liked the part where they were opening a goulash can and then had to renovate the whole house. 🤣
Wouldn’t the swastika be limited to mostly one country during a small period of time? I propose adding “Good Luck symbol” since prior to the Nazi‘s the swastika was reversed and was a good luck symbol. There are many ”Good Luck” tokens in many countries throughout Exonumia.

A general Numista search for “swastika” returns 133 results from 625 BC to 2003 AD. Only 39 are German coins (34 from 3rd Reich period). A “Good Luck symbol” could have multiple sub-categories like, horseshoe, rabbit's foot, swastika, etc. The two you referenced actually have “swastika” in the description.

Thank you for answering my question and confirming that the ”Swastaki” alone would be limited.

Good point. Also shamrock or 4 leaf clover, maybe as a most prominent one (at least from where I come from). Also chimney sweeper.
Just as a side note - could we then also get the “bad luck symbol”, like black cat or black death? Who would want to collect such pieces.😎
PS: on those 39+ pieces one can always add tag “sensitive”.
After I wrote that I felt bad even suggesting the symbol that represented Nazi Germany would be a sub-catagory under good luck symbols. I have to apologize.

Please bear in mind that this symbol, in one way, has nothing to do with WWII Germany. It was, and still is, used today to represent something completely different.

Absolutely agree with that. My problem is creating a tag that would go like this: # Good Luck Symbol > # Swastika → Nazi Germany. In other words, a majority of Nazi Germany coins exhibit a good luck symbol.

I do not know if a new category “good luck symbols” is a good idea. We have a “symbols” category with some religious symbols (christogram, cross, hexagram, moon [in case of crescent + star]) but there is not a “religious symbols” category.
I think can be created different tags under “symbols” category:
good luck symbol – for items with any symbol of good luck (good luck rabbit, good luck swastika, good luck clover…)
swastika – for items with a swastika (nazi swastika, good luck swastika…)
In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.
Why not change all the counter clockwise pages to sauvastika since they are not a swastika based on the definition above? Then none of them would show up as a “Good Luck Symbol” with even a word search for Swastika

Just went trough some tags… It seems “Rhino” is present in over 110 search results and “Rhinocerus” is present in well over 800 cases. A new tag perhaps?
I have recently visited great collection of firefighters items - coins, medals, and many other items which are not within the scope of Numista. I would there for propose to have a tag “firefighters” or similar This tag also has potential to attract new Numista users. For now there are around 100+ items on Numista, connected with fire fighting.
Another one similar tag could be “Police”, hence we probably come to new branch of tags, eg “Public service items” or similar. This one could include also "Health", “Trade” and “Education”, which are already present.

Totally support this, here is an example of the type of coin that could be included.

Could we also add more specific items? For instance, the tag :"fruit" or “watercraft”, I would like if we could be more specific with said tags (aircraft carrier, submarine, pineapple, apples etc.)
Looking to continue completing my collection.
I am currently only trading in the US. Will consider international if swap is good and worth it.
Then hopefully under > Animals there will lion or horse, and so on. Birds there will be eagle. Coat of Arms there will be crown or wreath, or swastika for example. Games will include Olympics and Commonwealth and South East Asia ... N#27371 Art will include Painting ... N#6499
Not sure where coins with Britannia on would go.
Did it ever get decided what tag to use for Britannia? Should it be allegory? I have hundreds if not thousands of British coins with her on and would appreciate guidance before allocating tags….

The white cross is known as the Swiss cross or the federal cross. [1] Its arms are equilateral, and their ratio of length to width is 7:6. The size of the cross in relation to the field was set in 2017 as 5:8. [2] Alongside the flag of Vatican City, the Swiss flag is one of only two square national flags in the world. [3]

I don't know, but on the paged linked it is referred to as the Greek cross:
See page N#55102 where lettering “Crowned Imperial eagle” is present. Maybe for this exact lettering, the tag hint for Crown could be excluded, as it is part of a coat of arms.
I have received new request on adding “Horse or equine” tag on this piece N#178770. It is true that the heads of two horses are part of the company's logo, but this just doesn't feel right for me to approve this. It is the same as if some user would request adding a “Cold weapons” or “Flag” symbol tag when there is already present “Trophy of arms” tag.
I believe I have written about this before - a request to add “Company logo” as new tag, but cannot find it. This tag would be better in this case. There is a tag ”Trade" but for me this represents something else from Company logo.

Indeed not a (real) horse …

I believe the original name for soccer was Association Football.
Correct Rick and I hate to call it Soccer. I prefer to call it Football which is its proper name. But to differentiate from the other Codes I think we need to call it Soccer.
By the Way .. Go Leeds United … Back in the Premier League and hopefully stay this time. 😁

I would kindly ask for a reply, as I have some pending requests on this matter.
I don't know if my opinion holds any weight or not, but I would vote “nay" (neigh?). If I were searching the horse tag, I would expect to find images of real horses not logos containing an abstract outline of a horse's head.
