Types, not items
A record describes an issue, model or series as it historically existed — never an individual example offered for sale.
Historical issuers
Objects stay with the authority that issued them. An Austro-Hungarian coin is filed under the empire, not under a modern successor state.
Gaps are published
Missing denominations, unverified catalogue numbers and conflicting references are listed on the record itself.
