Issuer #451 with Swiss canton of Schwyz (249 countries).
238. Swedish Livonia
ROMA AETERNA
I have not updated mine in a while, but...

294. Bishopric of Dorpat (this one).

That means the Bishopric of Courland is the only place under Livonia I am missing, although, with my budget, I doubt I will ever get a coin from that place. Oh well! I can settle for 7/8 of the issuers. :D
Saar
Sarawak
Darn... I wrote a lengthy post about what exactly happened, and it just randomly disappeared for some reason.

I'm keeping the empty post in case it ever decides to show up, but TL/DR:

273. Muscat and Oman [back when it separated]
274. Hannover, Kingdom of [actually dishonest - I don't know the type of my coin, only the date and denomination; ended up making a guess]
275. Dombes, Principality of [listed in my handwritten catalogues under "Orleans"]
276. Livonia, Duchy of [listed in my handwritten catalogues under "Riga, Polish" or similar]
277. England [because apparently I forgot to enter the England coin I thought I entered, so this one was a new issuer]

Oh, and all of this (except Muscat and Oman) was part of nearly 300 coins that I randomly found in a shoebox and recognized as my old coin purchases that I apparently put away a few months before I joined Numista.
Took me 16 days to enter all of them properly (would have been much less but I kept getting distracted and/or just plain forgetting).

Country No. 164, Issuer No. 261:
Solomon Islands
By the way, perhaps a third "Newest country added to your collection" thread should be started up? This thread has almost as many posts now as the last one apparently did before it ended.
Why not just 1 thread? Asking out of curiosity.

My latest issuer was Turks and Caicos. Not even sure why i bought the coin, as i don't like non-circulating coins. Might just throw it on swap list :))

​Apparently the old one was taking too long to load.... just a suggestion, my browser is fast enough to cope more than perfectly fine.
Issuer No. 262; Rhodesia

I only had coins from Southern Rhodesia, and Rhodesia and Nyasaland before, since Rhodesia existed in a time period completely outside my main collecting timeframe, but I saw one of their coins in a junk bin for 0,50€ today and decided why not.
Quote: "CassTaylor"​It's interesting to see how much the difference in your amount of countries and issuers is, usually those who collect old, smaller countries (German, Italian states, IPS, etc.) will have a larger difference between the two.
I'm noticing we almost have the same stats regarding the number of issuers and countries !
At first, ​I started to collect modern circulated coins from all over the world but I'm focusing on ancient and medieval ones now

#256 : Umayyad Caliphate (Islamic states)
#257 : Kingdom of Castile and Leon (Spanish states)
#258 : Almohad Caliphate (Islamic states)
#259 : Golden Horde (Mongol states)
Just picked up Saarland for my 261st.

​That sounds like me alright!

I'm actually having trouble getting new issuers, and I don't want to just buy a bunch of circulating cheap coins from the remaining current countries in the world today, but at the same time I'm not interested in Ancient/Medieval issuers, so that leaves a very slim selection of countries available to add to my issuer list (e.g. I'd love to have Isles de France et Bonaparte or Gold Coast). Probable candidates are more German/Italian states.
#345 Switzerland › Swiss cantons › Fribourg
Issuer 288: Mongolia.

Until recently this would have filled one of the few blank spots in the Numista map, but recent updates colored in Mongolia as China (Empire). But now I have it properly. :-)
Not sure what issuer I lost, but...

294. Free imperial city of Aachen (German State).

And yesterday, I received 21 unidentified coins. Out of the nine I have identified so far, eight were new places (I already had Gwaior). So...

295. Sultanate of Bijapur (Indian State).
296. Abbasid Caliphate (Islamic State).
297. Byzantine Empire (And my 208th country).
298. Vijayanagara Empire (Indian State).
299. Sultanate of Bahmani (Indian State).

With Maratha not yet being split from the Indian States section, and with nothing being spit from Ancient India (Kushan and the Mauryan Empire, in my case), that is what I have so far. :D
#346 Italy › Italian states › Duchy of Parma

230 Countries

Not bad for a big bag of mixed coin!
#347 Malaysia › Malay peninsula

230 Countries
Newfoundland.
328. Exonumia (had a tourist token moved there? not sure when exactly that happened)
329. Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Duchy of
330. Brandenburg-Prussia
331. Aachen, Free imperial city of (not actually honest - I know the type but not the date)
Sasanian empire
#319 Electorate of Bavaria. I had the kingdom already, but now a real electorate!

Envious at the Hawaiian coins people reported :-)
-Mexico
-Jordan
-Czechozlovakia

No new issuers, but apparently I'm short one country (used to be 232, now 231).

Any new reorganizations that could have caused this?
Issuer 263: Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel

Got a 1857 Groschen from it, posted that elsewhere.
I think I lost an issuer somewhere as I already had my 259th issuer before :O

#259 County of Dreux (France - Feudal)
#260 Artuqid dynasty (Islamic states)
#261 Martinique (France)
#262 Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles)
#263 Buenos Aires (Argentine provinces)
#264 Gabon - Country #164
#265 Casale (Italian states)
#266 Zengid dynasty (Islamic states)
#267 Ghaznavid dynasty (Islamic states)

The Artuqid wasn't expected : I thought I bought an ilkhanid coin but the legend didn't match.
Issuer 347 Bohemia › Kingdom of Bohemia › Royal mint of Bohemia
Issuer 348 Montserrat (also New country so now at 232 countries)

Would have been 349 in total, but lost an issuer on the way;(
Issuer #349 India › Indian states and kingdoms › Princely state of Bahawalpur - (232 Countries)

I have another 2 Indian states, just awaiting ID - so hard to id if you don't have a foggiest :-)
@Cyncos
Didn't realise you passed me in issuer count, but not for much longer! :P

I found a bunch of cheap coins from some new issuers I didn't have at the flea market earlier today:

Issuer 264: Malawi (20 Tambala 1971)
Issuer 265: Sudan (10 Milliemes AH 1390/1970)
Issuer 266: Pakistan (5 Paisa 1963)
Issuer 267: Kuwait (50 Fils AH 1392/1972)
Issuer 268: South Arabia (25 Fils 1964)
Issuer 269: Equatorial African states (BEAC) (10 Francs 1972)
Issuer 270: German Notgeld (50 pfennig ND (1918-19?))

Equatorial African states is somewhere I am referee for but had no coins from, so I felt bad enough to get one; while I don't usually collect German Notgeld, I decided to buy a cheap one that was in AU, with a fair bit of lustre, anyway:

#268 Duchy of Castro (Italian states)
#269 Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy (Italian states)
#270 Duchy of Urbino (Italian states)

/!\ Let the war begin !! /!\
I have been avoiding adding new issuers, to deepen my collections of the ones I am focused on.
but today I added Malta.

A nice introduction from the five-for-a-dollar junk box

/!\ Let the war begin !! /!\
En garde! (;0

Today I got:

Issuer 271: Duchy of Nassau
Issuer 272: French Notgeld

For the second one, like German Notgeld a few days ago I don't actively collect them, but I wanted a cheap example of each anyway. And it's another country I am referee for that I felt bad I didn't have any coins from as well... :°
Countries and territories › Windward Islands

Countries =234, Issuers =351

been after one from the “isles du vent” for a while

That was also my country number 170; I got a small UNC cent as a free present from a dealer I bought some other stuff from today.
Curaçao! Jesurun and Co stuiver.
#271 Lordship of Frinco (Italian states)

New issuer on numista too.
It completes my collection of counterfeited liards :P

Countries =234, Issuers =352

Only another 10 Issuers to add :-)
193. Anhalt-Bernburg

Nice buys from London Coin Fair

Country 235 - Issuer 353 - India (ancient) (Indo-Scythian)

Plus a number of ancient indians that don't show up as new issuers
Bolivia.
332. Austrian Netherlands.

Took way too long to finally get one of those. (And when I did it ended up a silver coin, not one of the common liards.)

Incidentally, nobody answered, but maybe someone still has an idea - which country could I have lost in early September?
Tonga!

Mongol Horde

Persian Satrapies
Indian States - Chola Dynasty
Not a new issuer (at least by Numista country list standards) but today I got the only official coin issue minted for Prince Edward Island, the 1871 1 cent.

That does raise the question of whether the Canadian provinces should be subissuers under Canada in their own right like Newfoundland, or at least third level issuers like the German states?

​They definitely should; probably third level (like the Argentine and Venezuelan provinces) rather than second level, however. (Not sure what to do with Newfoundland then, though.)

IMHO the only reason they aren't is that the still-ongoing reorganization hadn't gotten around to them (yet).
(Well, that, and I'm not sure how to count Upper Canada and Lower Canada, and for that matter the blacksmith tokens - and never mind this type...)
#320 Swiss Cantons - Fribourg
Two new IPS issuers for me today:
Issuer No. 277: Jaipur
Issuer No. 278: Gwalior

Agreed that Canadian provinces would look good as third level issuers rather than currencies within a second level issuer. I think Newfoundland could remain separate because it was a dominion of its own from 1907, joining the Canadian Confederation only in 1949.
Agree with you on those Canadian provinces, Cass!

Meanwhile I got inspired while researching the coinage of the German states of Cologne, and I managed to acquire an 8 Heller coin of the City of Cologne from 1793. The NRI was 93 before I had it, so it's not that common. I read that the coins were minted to deal with coin shortages as a result of the Napoleonic Wars that were raging not far from the city. Not much later Cologne was annexed by France.
Country #236, Issuer#360
British Antarctic Territory

Didn't really want to buy one from this type of 'country' but needs must and it is a fun coin

A bunch of new countries/issuers from a swap:

Issuer 279/Country 172: Kenya
Issuer 280/Country 173: Armenia
Issuer 281/Country 174: Madagascar
Issuer 282/Country 175: Central African states
Issuer 283: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Issuer 284: Israel

And the best one:
Issuer 285: Swedish Livonia
I got some Swedish Livonian solidus too this month : I have 6 of the 8 different types now

#275 : Isfendiyarid dynasty (Islamic states)
#276 : Sasanian Empire (Persia - Country 166)
I got 176 countries now, but not sure where the +1 came from; but at least my issuer count is up one:

Issuer #286: Grand Duchy of Mecklenberg-Schwerin

Entering my collection in style with this coin.
:love:
#277 : County of Sancerre (France - Feudal)
#278 : Germiyanids dynasty (Islamic states) : New issuer on Numista too.
#279 : City of Haldenstein (Swiss cantons)
#280 : Bishopric of Cambrai (France - Feudal)
#281 : Habbari dynasty (Indian states and kingdoms)
#282 : Buyid dynasty (Islamic states)
#283 : Duchy of Lorraine (Lorraine)
Hyderabad recently became an issuer, so that gave me +1; I also got a 1970 50 Escudos from Saõ Tome & Principe today, so +2.

Issuer 287: Hyderabad, Princely state of
Issuer 288, Country 177: Saõ Tomé and Principe

Expecting a few more from the IPS reorganisation too!
Indeed !
I was wondering how my number of issuers incrased until you gave me the hint :
#284 : Princely state of Jodhpur (Indian states and kingdoms)

Obviously we are both waiting for Mysore (and some more as well) :O
Nowhere near the country numbers some of you all have. Mine

83. Morocco - added 1 franc coin sof 1952, 10 and 50 francs of that year and a 1 dirham dated 1984
84. Germany - Prussia, 5 Mark coin dated 1903 with Kaiser Wilhelm II on it.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

While we wait for Mysore (and a few other IPS like Kutch), I got two new German states issuers with very long names today:

Issuer 289: Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hanover
Issuer 290: Schaumberg-Hesse-Kassel
Don't worry Moneytane, you have a pretty decend number of coins though =)

#285 : Bern (Swiss cantons)
Another new German states issuer with a long hyphenated name:

Issuer 291: Saxe-Coburg Gotha

Still waiting for Kutch and Mysore.... :°

I'm not sure about adding photos in this topic as pages need more times to load when they have pictures inside.
Personally, I can't open some topics without crashing my browser (I'm still using an old computer x. ).

Moreover we already have the "Additions to your collection [...]" topic to add pictures of our new coins.

However, I can link those issuers to the coins in the catalog if you prefer.
#321 City of Cologne
#323 Principality of Lippe
#324 County of Gorizia/Görz

I have no clue where #322 came from
Numista's collection change history under the 'My coins' page solved the mystery. The Swiss canton of Fribourg was issuer #322.
