I can appreciate your observation about Krause and others regarding names of locations. I include this link to a group that specializes in coins and questions about your topic. It looks like a wonderful resource especially for really old locations and rulers.
https://ca.groups.yahoo.com/neo/gro...country/infoIt's called "Every Country Collectors Group and here is a note about it:
The Everycountry group is a forum for advanced world coin collectors who collect one coin per country or per coin issuing authority, A to Z. Members discuss and research coins from different countries, especially unusual or hard-to-find locations. Our 7,500-line checklist, which is continually being refined and expanded, includes emergency coinage, local coinage, siege coins, and rebel issues.
New members are always welcome.
