I was under the impression that the structure of the Numista catalogue was based on the format adopted by Krause, which is why, where possible, the KM# is the primary catalogue reference for all coin listings? And yet, Luxembourg appears to be an exception such that when viewing a list of my Luxembourg coins, I can't see the KM# ref, I have to click on the coin to open the listing. Is this correct?
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
Hmm, it is not prohibited in any way to use something else than KM as primary reference. Most countries use one (usually domestic) reference for older coinage and KM for modern.
This Luxembourg catalogue seems to encompassed (actually both did - L and Weiller) both oldest coins of Luxembourg and modern ones. That puts it into quite rarely seen position, when listing KM as first reference would make sorting by reference unlogical.
You should see up to 5 references when browsing the catalogue, so clicking on the coin would not be needed if one wants to see the KM.
I agree on one thing though, references should have given order. If L is first, then something (either it is KM or Weiller or anything) should always be second reference, and so on.
No, it is just that KM was most logical choice for most modern countries.
Or at least it was, until they got trampled by commemorative madness of recent years. But for most, there is still no alternative even though they are lagging behind.
But I got an idea, as we have sorting by reference, it might be good to choose by which reference you want to sort it.
I don't really mind how many references there are on any given coin listing but the issue I have is that when viewing the list of 'My coins from Luxembourg' I can't see the KM# ref and have to click on the coin to see it. So yes, if there was an option of which cat ref you would see and sort on then that would do the trick, I suppose.

A lot of coins in China-Empire and China-Republic have Y# and Hartil as references instead of KM#; when I become responsible for them I'll make it a priority to add KM#s when applicable.
Cita: "Jarcek"Krause itself uses Y and C references for some countries.
Yes, I know, but I was referring primarily to parts of (for example) China - Republic like the Soviet issues, which do have KM# instead of Y#, but the catalogue as it stands seems to be quite incomplete on that area.
