Thought I would revive this old thread since we have an issue with the 1918 Bombay Sovereign listing:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces46001.html
This page currently resides at the very end of the
British India catalogue, in the same currency section as the Rupees, so we have a little dilemma:
(i) Do we stick to the archaic view that we must stay with Krause, no matter what, in which case the sovereign page should be placed under its own 'currency' entitled 'Trade Coinage' which would follow on after the end of the Rupee section, as it is in Krause? or
(ii) Do we folow the example of the Ottawa mint sovereigns:

Since the Bombay mint sovereigns were struck at a colonial branch of the Royal Mint, presumably for trade and export like the Ottawa sovereigns, and since the specialist catalogue for British coins, Spink, lists them alongside the London mint issues, should we move the Bombay mint sovereign to the UK catalogue?
Gold sovereigns are not my specialist field so I would be happy to be guided by those more knowledgeable than myself, or failing that, by general concensus!
