Hello

when I search, for example, italian 50 lire of 1960
If I write "italy 50 lire 1960" the search engine find it
but if I write "italia 50 lire 1960" the search engin don't find it

I often use google to search and, for example, I write "numista italia 50 lire 1960"

it would be nice if at least the internal search engine accepted the original names of the states ;-)

even better he could use a recognition for the terms used at least in the main languages ​​for the states themselve

for example

French: Allemagne
English: Germany
Italian: Germany
Dutch: Duitsland
Portuguese: Alemanha
Spanish: Alemania
German: Deutschland


Some countries are not easy to write in a non-proper language
like Czechoslovakia ;-)

Hello,
This was implemented some time ago. You can search with the country alternative name. This is based on some predefined alternative names for each country, so feel free to request some alternative names to be set in case they are missing.
