I apologize if this this topic has already been discussed.

Can we do something to add a notation on the individual coin that references their issuer and base country?

When I was searching through another member's swap list, I saw a listing for a new country - Neuchâtel. I have not heard of this issuer and didn't know where to find it on the country list. Turns out, it is a Swiss Canton. But there is nothing on the Neuchatel list that points this out. I had to search and search through various issuers (nearly 1,000 now) to find it.

Thanks
On the individual coin pages it names the entity as "country" whether it is designated as a "country" or an "issuer". Perhaps the issuer name could be followed by the country in parenthesis?
That way if JRo69 looked up the coin mentioned in the previous post, he/she would see
Country: Neuchâtel (Swiss Cantons) instead of just Country: Neuchâtel

Thanks!
Yes, this is one of the unexpected issues of country list rework and it actually makes pretty good sense. I will add it to another admin meeting agenda.

Thank you Pott and Jarcek.
That is what I was intending.
Hello,
