How Many Countries Do You Have Coins From?

It's amazing how the one hobby of "coin collecting" has such a wide variety of interests. The Numista maps really help to bring that out.

I haven't checked my Numista map for a long time. Most of my ancients / Medievals aren't on there as those areas don't handle varieties very well. On the map the Papal States is probably quite red-ish too - but so small as to be tricky to see.

I keep a better record of what I have accrued on my website for those areas.

The 1 swap is an error!

I agree - that is a lot, are most of them from India?

Yes, and German states - that would be a good proportion of them I think.

you wouldn't happen to have a list is all the issuers for these, would you? (one you are willing to share, that is)

Numista doesn't make it easy to tailor a specific list of your collections teritories - but you can click on
1. My collection - scroll to bottom
2. click on " View the country list with my collection quantities."
3. Then click on each "Countries and territories" which will expand out

You can also click on ""from which I don't have any items"

That looks useful

The accomplishments already posted are really impressive!

I'm less ambitious and have a "bimodal" distribution. 70% of my countries are my birthyear collection which contains just one type per country (except for US, Canada, Mexico). That's all the blue places.
The rest of the countries (the yellow and red "hot spots" in Europe) are 4 specific pre-1800 collecting themes and a 3 century OFEY theme that cuts across them.


Here's what my year distribution looks like, except for the modern birthyear (which would distort the graph making the earlier years unreadable)

Thanks, I'll have a look at that to see where I can improve on my 'Usurers' section.

Very impressive!
