NOTE: Verified in the English catalogue or in the French one or in both of them?

The verified status of a coin page is not necessarily the same in the English and French catalogue.
When descriptive information has been validated in one language, the common information (numerical data such as years, weight...) are validated in the other language (thus any modification of these data will generate an automatic modification request even if the icons or are not shown).
To swap to the other catalogue, just click on the flag on the top of the screen or .
Some information is available in only one language. It's then always useful to switch to the other catalogue.
