I have with me a 1 cent from Zimbabwe minted in 1994 and wanted to add it, yet there was no option for that year. The closest were 1993 and 1996. The page had already been closed and verified and I was told to post in the forum.
You didn't post a picture of the reverse, but isn't it this coin?

They say "Pecunia non olet", but I know better...
I see now that there are multiple records for the same or similar coins. Sorry, first time using this site. Thank you.

Slightly off topic, but why does it say FR Royal mint next to each of the year lines except the proof?
FR means that the equivalent FRench page has
comments on it that the English page does not.
Sometimes the other way round,
when a French page has En on it.

Such as this, for a different coin from there ...

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
It just seems irrelevant seen as the mint has been correctly added to the page entry. But looks like it cannot be edited out.
Agreed, so just now I amended the French page
(by deleting the mint from the eight year lines)

and hope the referee approves. Thanks :)

​Excellent, good work!
This is a common problem. When comments on year lines are deleted (such as "Rare") they get backfilled with the (fr) comment (fr) Très rare. In this case, the (fr) Royal mint started out as an English comment that was carried over to the French side. Eventually the mint was added on the English side and the comments deleted, but year line comment changes aren't automatically carried over to the French side. This is a snapshot of how the English page looked in 2016:
