Section on coin/banknote pages to describe varieties

After discussing it (in different dates) with some team members and other referees/users, I feel we could have a new section in coins/notes pages.

The new section would be to explain the varieties of a coin/note, where can be added details of pictures and explanation of the varieties.

I think when there are some similar coins or notes that are depicted in different pages, they could be repeated in those pages to show the differences. This makes easier to new/less experienced users to find them, but also helps more experienced collectors to know the known variations.

I think is not redundant with links to other coins/notes, but a complement to them.

Of course, this is not related to different signatures or series on notes.

How would this be different to the present comments field?

​Is not about being different, it would be a separate field, used exclusively to explain the variations in coins/notes, instead of use the comments field, same as other fields (technical data, description of obverse, reverse and edge or watermark.

In that case, could the images of similar pieces be "clickable" to the page for those types? I'm not sure that's possible at the moment.
