could we insert in other versions the “photographs” field with the translation of the article from the French site:
Photographs
If you choose to take a photograph of your coin, pay attention to the following details:
1. Place your coin on a plain background, such as a white sheet. Avoid checkered tablecloths, kitchen rags, transparent tables, etc.
2. If you keep your coins in cases or pouches, take your coin out of the said pouch before taking the photograph.
3. Hold the camera high above the workpiece, facing the workpiece, not tilted.
4. Make sure you take the photograph as close to the coin as possible, with as little background showing in the final shot as possible, whilst ensuring the photo remains in focus.
5. Take a photograph of sufficient size to allow you to see the coin and its details; the larger the image, the better it will identify the currency.
6. Do not use your camera's flash, it will only add reflections to the reliefs of your coin.
7. Choose indirect lighting so as not to add reflections to the reliefs in your photograph.
Photo of the edge of a coin
To photograph the edge of a coin, take a photo at an angle of approximately 15°. If the edge has an inscription or a non-repeating design, take several photos to illustrate the complete turn.
