Can I take pictures from OCRE to put in a Numista page( with citing them of course), and if that requires permission, how do I get it?

Only theoretically if the institution that picture comes from gave us permission as well. In your link, ANS gave us rights to use their pictures, while Münzkabinett Wien did not.

I didn't ask for their permission, but I did name them as picture owner. Hopefully there won't be any copyright issues .

It's not a great idea to add images from random pages. Can you check the list of institutions that actually agreed to share their images in Numista and use one of those instead?

That is what I checked - and ANS is on the list. One of the pictures from OCRE is from ANS, thus can be used.

I meant that the image is already changed to the one of the Münzkabinett:

Oh, that one is also an approved source, I missed it in the list.
