Minor varieties deserve a separate Numista page?

Hello friends

 

Do we really need separate pages just because of a different KM#?

 

 

N#22946

N#22947

 

It’s quite common for older coins (before 1900) to have many minor varieties (before 1900 everything is a mess)

 

Even modern coins with lots of difference in design still in the same page ( example: N#1347 )

 

I propose to merge those two together.

I'm no fan of minor variants having their own page forcing me to switch between multiple catalog page tabs to find the right place for my collectables but I think this one is large enough to warrant one but the title definitely needs to state the distinguishing feature of large and small CoA.

 I amended the titles now, pending referee approval.

They should use the same calendar. Guidelines say the Islamic (Hijri) calendar should be used.  I can't submit a CR changing the years.
