Hello, and I hope you are well!

 

I am requesting the following pages from the issuer “Uncertain Sogdian Mint” be deleted:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces199950.html

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces198628.html

 

They have no images, no helpful identifying information, and no reference numbers. Even after combing through Zeno, as well as my extensive Central Asian reference collection, I am unable to confirm the existence of N#198628, and I find it likely that this is a poor duplicate of N#197431.

 

Additionally (In the case of N#199950), this “type” is known from a single example posted on Zeno, with very little helpful information, dubious authenticity, and even experts on Zeno don't know how to catalog it. In this scenario, I feel it would be best to remove it from the catalog until more information can be gained, or perhaps another example is found and the type can be confirmed. 

 

Have a wonderful day!

Additionally, no Numista users currently have either of these coins in their collections, so there is no issue there
