Guidelines for the Numista catalogue

Last update: 19 January 2024

This page provides instructions for creating, improving, or fixing catalogue pages (coins, banknotes, and exonumia), as well as adding or modifying entities managed by administrators (mints, issuers, printers, etc.). These guidelines are intended both for contributing members and referees, who maintain the consistency of the catalogue. We kindly request everyone to respect them as much as possible and for ask any questions about their application on the forum. If needed, you can also directly contact Numista administrators through private messages.
