I wonder why the judges have double criteria for coincard variants... for French coincards, variations are allowed, but not for Belgian coins (I entered both versions when entering the catalog, and the judge combined it)
The Mint’s 2023 Festive Floral Christmas decoration coin is the perfect Kris Kringle gift for one and all this Christmas.
At a special retail price of $12.50, the Mint’s 2023 Christmas decoration coin is the perfect Kris Kringle gift for one and all this Christmas. The stunning coin comes in a unique translucent hanging decoration in five different colours.
It's a one to one copy of either the mint site or one of the coin peddlers. Similar to most of the descriptions on English euro coin pages that seem to be a carbon copy of the central bank or mint sites.
I don't agree with you... then why do we also have circulation data for sets and minting quality (BU set, Proof set Proof coin...) for the same coin
Because they are different finishes that can be distinguished from another even outside their paper and plastic graves they came in (UNC and BU probably need a keen eye or prior knowledge).

then it is correct
and not like the judges have now made a mess with the mintage

No it's NOT correct, the grade of the coin will NOT give the color of the card, so forget the card, please be realistic?
(As all Australians know) A “Postal Numismatic Cover” or “PNC” is a specially designed envelope, combing both stamps and coins, bearing newly issued postage stamps which were postmarked on the first day that those stamps were placed on sale by the Post Office and a commemorative coin, all with the same theme. (N#338627)
Are you planning to do this type merge on all Australian coin pages or just the ones listed here?
But as they are not in Numista scope, I dont think we need it in abbreviation, except maybe for general comments where such packaging variations can be mentionned
Hello, Regarding using the abbreviation “PNC” on Numista: the general rule is that we should almost always prefer the full form rather than abbreviations. Numista aims at educating and being accessible for everyone. Using abbreviations is a barrier to understanding. Before adding a new abbreviation to the list of abbreviations we accept in the catalogue, we should make sure that either the abbreviation is more understandable than the full form or that we have a strong constraint to use a shorter abbreviation. I don't think it's the case here.
You guys love to attack the Australian section don't you? It is one of the best maintained, most up to date, interesting parts of Numista and I and others (Trooper8 for instance) have put countless hours of our free time into getting it where it is. I am currently working through replacing most of the pictures of coins with much better quality ones.
Every Australian coin collector knows what a PNC is. I have explained it before. Postal Numismatic Cover. It isn't rocket science.
They are issued by Australia Post who source the coins either from the Royal Australian Mint or the Perth Mint.
If you walk into a Post Office in Australia they usually have a small section where they display a few PNC's, usually fairly current ones.
They get snapped up fairly quickly by the collecting community. Some Australian collectors only collect PNC's.
We even have a special reference book for PNC's only. It is called
“The Essential Reference Guide to Australian Postal Numismatic Covers (PNCS)”
It has 456 pages of information about PNC's with details of each release, mintages, dates, categories, themes etc etc.
This is the cover …….. This is a sample page.
Some Australian coins are only issued in a PNC and are never released in anything else.
Here is an example of a PNC only coin >>> N#335480
You can't get this coin unless you buy a PNC from Australia Post. It is the only way to get it.
Some are issued in a PNC and also in a coincard.
Here is an example of one issued both ways >>> N#75728
So .. If you want the Robot to go through and change every instance of the abbreviation PNC to Postal Numismatic Cover … be my guest.
Personally I think we should add the abbreviation to the allowable list. It will save on characters and diskspace.
This is a big World and there are a lot of different ways of doing things. There is no need to make everyone do exactly the same thing.
Lets keep Numista interesting and vibrant and different where there are differences to be enjoyed.

The answer to your question is 5,501 per Colour (Not color) coincard. 27,505 coins of this type were minted in total. Split evenly over the 5 different colour cards. Looking at the image it seems that quite a few Numista members know which line to place their coin.
14 have a blue one
11 have a green one
15 have an orange one
11 have a red one
15 have a yellow one
0 are undetermined.
What harm is their in showing the different coincard colour types? Anyone getting the coin not in the card, and that would be very unusual as that is the only way they come out, can add it to the undetermined line.

fair is... if the criteria applies to one country, it must apply to all or none
whether this applies to official PNC or to official coin cards
Yes ofc
yes, but the discussion here is only for Australian coins...
the same situation applies to OFFICIAL editions France Olympic Games 2024 - 2021… 5 version France Olympic Games 2024 - 2022… 5 version France Olympic Games 2024 - 2023… 5 version France Olympic Games 2024 - 2024… 5 version France Asterix - 2019… 3 version France Medical Research - 2020… 3 version
Belgium also has OFFICIAL issues in language versions of the coin card
