Islamic calendar date inconsistencies [solved]

6 posts
Just looking in my own collection on Numista, I can see that while some pages of coins that do bear a Gregorian date that for some reason have the Gregorian date in brackets (e.g. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5592.html),

there are also those without a Gregorian date that do not list the dates in Islamic calendar years, and do not have the Gregorian years in brackets (e.g. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22003.html).

As far as I'm aware, Numista policy is to list dates in whatever calendar is on the coin itself, and have Gregorian dates if it is a non-Gregorian calendar or ND issue in brackets.
First coin is ok, I remember talking with AmerSalmeh about these, arabic countries were using islamic calendar at the time, so we stick to it.

Second is a mistake, it uses gregorian instead of islamic calendar.

​Yeah, but I thought it was a problem that existed in more than just one referee's countries, and I'm not sure if any similar errors exist in other countries as well.
Fixed :) thanks for reporting
I haven't completed working on Egypt yet - and it's far from done - so errors are expected to be found
