Questions about a few of the tags.

5 posts
Hello everyone, today I decided to add tags to some coins and I was wondering about the exact meaning/use of a few the tags:

Coronation - While this one is very obvious, I was wondering if it could also be applied to coins who commemorate events like Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee.

Allegory - I have truly no idea what this one is supposed to represent. However, I do know that this coin has this tag: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6.html

Monarch - What I'm wondering about this tag is its usefulness. Is it really that useful since a major portions of all the coins have a queen or a king on them? We'd just end up tagging almost all the coins with this one.

As I understand it, this tag is for coins with allegorical figures, for example, a woman representing Liberty. See this thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic14365.html

Agree Monarch I do not see the point of this Tag.

Allegory is for example Brittania

Thank you for the help with “allegory”, Numinis and Apuking.
I think monarch is still relevant. It is just that what coins are been tagged and so on. I am not sure how do they tag monarch. But I feel how it should be used is coins that are still issued by countries that are still under the monarch rule should have this. Then coins that has king or queen portrait, should tag by their name or title.

To seek for perfection, it is too painful and there is a very high price to pay. To seek for something comfortable is more easy. To seek for nothing is even more easy.
