G'day !
So, I was about to make some changes in, yet another, messy catalogue noone is refereeing. Then, to my surprise, I noticed a new field; Unabridged legend.

What am I supposed to write there? What does is even mean, and why is it after the Scripts field?

I've made a very pedagogical picture of my confusion. :O



Cheers!

For example, DEI GRA FID DEF would be the abridged legend as it appears on the coin, and DEI GRATIA FIDEI DEFENSOR would be the unabridged legend.

I guess this field is for older coins. There is something here about it too https://en.numista.com/forum/topic87390.html

​OK, so basically it's the "un-abbrevated" legend, instead of writing it in the translation field, or comments field?

Maybe this shouldn't be part of the banknote listings.

​I don't think there are banknotes where this field will be used, but I might be wrong.

Right, this is to input the unabbreviated legend that is inscribed on the coin.

Banknotes: I don't have examples in mind right now related to this but I guess there can be some?

I don't think there are any banknotes for this. The space limitation is not really a problem on banknotes as it is on coins. If there are any, they are too few to have this feature.
