Hi everyone!
We currently have 2 Corsica issuers: 
- 1 under italian states (coins from 18th century)

- 1 under french states (modern exonumia)

 

I suggest we merge those 2 issuers in database, and keep it under french states as the rule for past sovereign entities (Kingdom and Republic of Corsica where precisely claiming their independence from Italian Genova) is, when applicable, to be sorted under where they're currently belonging in terms of territory.

 

WDYT? 
especcially fellow referees @HerveMonaco @loruca 

The coins from Corsica were issued when Corsica was Kingdom (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royaume_de_Corse) and a Republic (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9publique_corse) independent from the Republic of Genoa. So I see no reason to keep Corsica under the section “Italian States”. I agree we should merge this duplicate issuer under the section “French States”, which groups other past independent states which territory is located with the modern borders of France (Lorraine, Brittany, etc.)

Agreed, have always been a touch confused as to why I still had this one!

LRC

I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!

Thank 's
