Hi
I have uploaded lots of tokens, medals and coins, many of which sadly I don't know much about of their intended use, why they were issued, in which country they were used and so on. I would propose to add messaging link on each coin page to a Numista server (maybe some kind of Facebook login or other way), which any admin can open and deal further. Beside the link there should be a notice of something like this "If you have any further information regarding intended use of this coins, please send it to us...".
I dare to say that out there, there are people that would be willing to send more info. If majority of people are nostalgic over old times, some of them, who would accidentally stumble upon Numista coin page, just might shed some more light to the common cause.
With every year that passes by, knowledge slowly fades away...
Best regards
Hello,
I think the same goal can already be achieved with existing features:
- People who know about a coin or a token can modify the page to add more information, especially in the "comments" field for the intended use of a token
- You may ask on the identification forum if you would like to ask the community for more information about your coins or tokens.
