As some of you know I try and use a website to keep track of my coins. I've updated this recently to list out all of the minor (and not so minor) coins I have so I have a easily accessible list online to check against if I spot something when I'm out and about.

My main website is the the Diadumenian one
http://www.diadumenian.com/

which sets out a comprehensive listing of the Bronze Provincial coins of that particular Roman Emperor. Dane at Wildwinds keeps a mirror to help with identification there.

A second project was my Congress of Princes one which I updated regularly as that was being completed - it's here
http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...princes.html

though you can link to it from the main site. IT was great fun to do and featured in Coin News in the UK and Mike at TheCoinShow said he really liked the idea.


What I've done is list out a few other main pages which helps me keep track of other coins I have

Indian Rupees here
http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...0Rupees.html

Other world crowns here
http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...0crowns.html

Some medieval penny types here
http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...0Europe.html


And the big listing here
http://www.diadumenian.com/Congress...lection.html

The latter page is a complete mess and most of my Chinese coins aren't listed yet and there's lots in general missing but at least it's a start. I think there are around some 450 issuing authorities (with all the relevant rulers etc, under that.)


So that's most of my collection ...

There are a lot of dead links in some of the minor pages, but if you click on a ruler from the "Congress of Princes" or "other crowns" pages it should be possible to click through all the important parents and children to see pictures of all the rulers - and the idea is to get a representative coin for as many as I can.

Thanks for looking if you have the time



Here's a sample page

The presentation is as impressive as the collection. This is a tremendous piece of work, Bacchus2, as much a scholarly service to numismatics as anything else.

Very nice :) To see and learn. As I've stated before, I really adore the Austro-Hungarian coinage; I think I'll check your page for info at later time & more than once. Great work!

Real nice but I don't see why you just don't use something like Excel. Make your own and keep in on your computer.

Love it , reminds me I should start something similar. I have all my coins in photobucket and physically in bank vault. So I I like organizing them like you did there rather than in photo bucket.

That is important. The more fun you have, the more likely you are to keep it updated.
