Figuring out the cities of the Islamic states

Hello!

So… obviously cities do not often change borders, meaning quite a few cities which have currently been added are also needed under different issuers. All my coin addition requests have been approved, so now the Islamic states section should be most up-to-date so you can see what we are working with exactly. Regardless, here is the list:

And that should be all of them…

I image the more accurate way to deal with them would be to call them each something like “Basra, Idrisid city of” and “Basra, Buyid city of”, then make the issuers equivalent similar to Savoy. However, if there are any other ideas on how to handle these issuers, I would love to hear them.

Also, I have all ruling authorities and coin examples ready for whenever these are figured out.  :)

Thank you for reading!

I figured the “cities of” categories should be renamed to civic copper, as the large majority is civic copper in those types? Should they really be duplicated under the larger dynasties?

Hello!

Most of the coins under those “cities of” issuers are indeed civic coppers; however, some of them are also silver/gold pieces issued by rebels, so renaming the issuers to civic coppers would not necessarily work for all coins it includes.

The cities listed here are also most for rebel issues (or local governor issues), so these are not included as civic copper issues either; however, based on when they were minted, they would not necessarily work under the “cities of” issuers either, as their contemporary issuers are located under the Islamic states rather than Iran/Afghanistan/Central Asia… if that makes sense.  :)
