Fantasy about extinct issuers

2 posts • viewed 42 times

Hi everyone!

 

We had issues with some Exonumia items linked with actual extinct issuers like Roman Empire or Ceylon.

We decided to create dedicated fantasy issuers for these. 

Example: N#319380

 

Rationale being:

- extinct issuers should not get items issued after their extinction

- if a collector look for actual Exonumia of Roman Empire like medals, they dont want them to be mixed with modern fantasy items using same name

- designing a piece of Exonumia today talking about roman empire is not different than mentionning Westeros for instance: it is fantasy, more or less inspired by history

 

Please let us know if you have any question or feedback!

 

Please also help us to spot these issues (I only created Ceylon, Indochina and Roman Empire for now)

The series of fantasy crowns “issued” under Edward VIII posthumously would be some examples made for many different ex colonies
