Hi Victor

It already exists here:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2914.html

The languages for the 2004 and 2016 coins are the same, so they are listed together.

Cheers!

Andrew
The languages are the same, but there are other differences like the placement of ALS and the fonts.

2002 and 2014 have the same language and the same differences but are listed separately.
2003 and 2015 have the same language and the same differences but are listed separately.
2004 and 2016 have the same language and the same differences but are listed together.

That's an inconsistency that should be corrected. It's already reported here https://en.numista.com/forum/topic61278.html (scroll to the posts of 29 and 30 October), but not corrected yet.

​Yeah, I agree that these pages should be merged. Actually, I think Krause has made a big mistake by giving the different languages on SA coins completely different KM numbers. This is inconsistent with how they handled them in the past, and these coins would be far easier to manage if they were point divisions of the same KM number, like these:

As for the differences in date size and position of the "ALS" initials, I think it is absurd to make different pages to accommodate variations this small.

However, my intention was only to notify the original poster that the coin does already exist on Numista. I try not to comment on catalogue organisation anymore because I am so disillusioned with how that aspect of Numista has developed in the last few months.
