This coins needs to be entered in the catalog, thanks

Ole

Is it this one?

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces62825.html

Yes,,

but I'm very sorry, the year is 2013! If numista starts to use the years in which the coins was released, we'll never be able to find any resemblance between the coins and the catalog.

Do you understand, what I'm trying to say?

Please move that coin with the date of 2013 to 2013 and not in 2014 as it is now

Ole

The coins were announced 20th February 2014, released 16th April 2014 and put into circulation in July 2014...

I agree with Ole, because the year is written on the coin.

The Coir board completed 60 years in 2013 and that is stamped on the coin 1953-2013. The coins were issued in 2014
If the coins were to be issued .. say in 2018.... would we still put 2013 on the sheet?

I'm not advocating one date or the other... I'm just trying to understand the reasoning...

 

Yes. Because this coin was planned for minting in 2013. What about Croatia coins then? Croatia coins from 1993 are released in 1994 and coins from 1994 are released in 1994, too.

Interesting discussion....
Unlike definitive coins... this one is a commemorative.... to commemorate a time span in history.. in this case the completion of 60 years of the Coir board. It is totally unrelated to the coin being planned or issued or minted.

For example, take this coin... the life span of this man is printed on the coin... a span of history from 1825-1917 but the coins were issued in 2003
...what date would then go on the Numista sheet? The date of planning or date of issue or date put into circulation? Or would we put 1917 because that is the last date on the coin?

My two cents..... put a ND (no date) on the coir board sheet with 2014-2014 as year of issue



                                                
                                                  

Interesting discussion, but how do you suggest to find a ND coin in a search? Normally the date is used, but with only a time span on the coin, maybe the time span should be used, like in your example 1825-1917 and the search would lead you to the ND coin.

Otherwise you have to go on a very generic search like "India Republic" and then "2 rupees" and then waste your time to go through the results until you find the wanted coin....

Ole

I just tried to search IR with "ND" for No Date coins, and the search machine doesn't give any results

Ole

Hey Ole,

I kinda agree with you, I'd list coir board as 2013 as well even though it was indeed released a year later. In the case of the Nowrojee coin (ND), I just put 2003 as I know that is the year it was released. I don't think putting ND in a search will help anybody, neither from an IT backend perspective nor for the end-user.

It can get even more confusing as there were a few Rs5 coins OMS put into circulation well after their original CuNi counterparts were issued. Yet i go by the date engraved on the coins just for the sake of convenience. I usually make a note eg. Dandi March 2005 Ferritic Steel (issued 2007)

The Rs5 Bhagat Singh coin is even more interesting, because we had to wait a full 5 years before it was actually released into circulation!
