Although it might be convenient to put the 2011, 2015, 2017 and 2018 coins together to show the differences in obverse, reverse and character fonts, this does not seem to be in line with the usual way of separating coins that are different.
I propose that we create 3 separate sheets for each denomination :
The “a” types should go – I put in change requests.
Do the font changes justify a split? I searched “different font” and found several cases where a different font didn't cause a split (and there are many more that don't have that phrase).
I was one of few who wanted the 2015 issue to be seperated due to a different font and layout. Numista team said no. At that time it didn't have its own KM number, so it was put together with the 2011 coin. I don't know it if has its own KM number now.
If it was up to be it'd be separated from the others, but the community didn't want that. I'm just the referee, so I have to follow the majority.
I checked Numismaster and the last printed Krause and there are currently no references any coins dated later than 2011.
(A statement from Krause would be appreciated, but each Krause number assignment is just the view of one numismatist. It's not a perfect catalog and Numista makes different decisions from Krause when our team comes to a different consensus.)
The numista “team” may have said no but I'd argue the community never had its say. This part of the community is in favour of splitting these obviously distinct coins, regardless of whether KM does or not. We can't create new KM number, so just leave it blank.

What I meant was that I got at least ten requests from different members to change the page picture to the new 2015 issue, so I thought that was a pretty clear message.
I don't know about the KM number, so I just delete it from the comments.
If you want the 2015 issue to be split from the other issues, just let me know.
After creating the new version please link entries with each other and indicate their difference in titles (like “old font” / “new font” or else) to avoid users being confused
