@Jarcek maybe this is something you could edit? 😄

 

On the page N#47195 (Free imperial city of Nuremberg - 1 Thaler) there is a mention in French of the fact that there are 2 different types/engravers' marks: one with a star and one with a cross. There are multiple examples of both types you can find here: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=N%C3%BCrnberg+1623&category=1-2&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1¤cy=usd&order=0.

 

Compare for example: 

 

Cross
Star

 

 

I think they should be added as separate date options (for example 1625 Star and 1625 Cross), right now most date entries have the description in French with ‘star or cross’ which is a little clumsy and not very specific (and it's still in French, not English).

 

This could also be illustrated in an English version of the now translated comment in French:

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards,

Good suggestion.  Working on it.

 

Update.  This has been done, and a note has been added in both the English and French versions alerting members who have this type to check that their coin is on the correct date line.
