Hello everyone, this is an idea to "improve" a purely aesthetic issue, nothing transcendental.

 

When we have an "at random" selection of banknotes or exonumia, for example, on the home page, or when we search for an issuing entity, or a ruling authority, etc... (see example in the photo below)

 

 

On many occasions, banknotes or exonumia show the reverse side which, in some cases, is a blank reverse side. My idea would be that, in the case of banknotes and exonumia (maybe in coins too?), pieces would be shown at random but always on their obverse, if this is technically possible, to avoid images like the one in the example.

 

Thank you.

Yes, it is a problem (to see a planchet or a paper with drawing say nothing)… Or not? I am not sure because of these sides are part of the object.

 

Maybe mark an image so it does not appear on these types of lists…

We can restrict what is shown, I believe that reverses with “blank” description can be added.

That would be fine, it is not something important, but aesthetically I think it is more “appropriate” to see a piece with a printed design than a blank piece. 

Thank you!!!

We can also set an attribute for single side object to make sure the system only show related attribute and display them correctly in this random filter.

Always look on the bright side of life!
