Anglo saxon early coinage [Risolto]

Hi!

I noticed early anglo saxon kingdoms were in England issuer, as “monetary systems” (see screenshot).

I feel they should be separated and England begin only in 924.

We could create an “anglo-saxon kingdoms” (like we did for “frankish kingdoms” to separate from actual France coinage starting 10th century), with sub issuers being “northumbria”, “mercia”, etc and also “continental coinage” currently sorted as Low Countries Feudal

WDYT?

A lot needs fixing up in the UK section and this would make an excellent start.

Whilst this could prove tricky, which is probably why it hasn't been addressed before now, I support this initiative in principal and agree that the ‘sub-issuers’, for want of a better term, should be properly organised rather than being shown as individual currencies.

+1 on the potential trickyness! For instance I didnt yet digged in how we could divide Frankish kingdoms in real sub issuers like Neustria, Austrasia, etc, because it is not obvious and very unstable.  I'm currently finishing slowly this job for Carolingian empire and its sub kingdoms (Aquitaine, Italy, Upper and Lower Lorraine, Arles etc); It led me up to rework also early papal coinage + revisit how some german states were treated (with royal city mints instead or real issuers; this has just began) so yes, it is a piece of work! 

But I'm happy we agree it is going in the right way that each historic political issuer get its proper Numista section or sub-section 😃

I created all the new issuers and asked Radrick one coin change per each, in order for the DB to be updated with rulers and everything. They should appear normally 24 hours after validation, then we'll be able to sort all remaining coins :-)
