Me, but I am well satisfied with Numista, its run by Europeans (French?) and its much better than say if it was dominated by USA and American coins.
Plus coin collecting is global, we all have our tastes. I for myself love British commonwealth and seem to like old English coins the most, but my collection goes around the world and Numista accommodates that well.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Good idea on paper but numista has everything needed here for world collectors. There's already British dominated forums. Numista serves all purposes of all world coins, discussions,banknotes,British and world coin topics. Swapping format and a rating system in place. Everything needed is here. I get the sentiment though.
What I am proposing is a specialised catalogue that is a specialised one with 4 main sections - Banknotes, Coins, Community Currencies, & Postal Orders.
Each place would be arranged in order - but Indian Princely States under British Suzerainty would be arranged in order in their own section.
@Hibernia ,I know you would like to contribute to sections for Ireland.
Would an improved filter here on Numista not fulfil the requirements?
Basically “supergroups” which would encompass relevant subsections.
So you could easily have British Empire (along with other colonial empires), Commonwealth etc.
A modern “supergroup” could be the EU.
European Union (1993 - Present)
Pre-Eurozone (1993 - 1999)
- France (1993 - 1999)
- Germany (1993 - 1999)
….
Eurozone (1999 - )
France (1999 - )
Germany (1999 - )
Malta (2008 - )
….
Non-Eurozone (1999 - )
Denmark (1999 - )
Poland (2006 - )
….
[Dates may be out, but I hope it makes sense]
Obviously I'm assuming it'll be a lot of technical work behind the scenes. Might be easier to have a “supergroup” category rather than trying to put it in the issuer area?
I mean, I'm not opposed to having a new site but not sure it'd be of use to me, and feels like there'd be a lot of overlap with Numista (which obviously already exists).

Just my thoughts though 🙂
It wouldn't work on here, considering how specialised British Commonwealth banknotes & coins really are.
So a catalogue or a discussion site. If you are claiming the British empire goes back 2,100 years like back to 79BC when it was several Iron Age kingdoms. Even if you don't count medieval invasions into other British countries and France, the real British empire started in 1584 with the Roanoake colony and properly in 1607 with Jamestown and 2 years later with Bermuda.
The goal to eliminate over domination by USA and India, would not work as both were part of the empire at some stage, or would you have India only to 1947 and USA to 1782.

Peter, a whole website to cover 2,100 years of British Empire & British Commonwealth numismatics is definitely needed.
Such a project would cover from the Celtic kingdoms of the Iron Age in England right up to the Euro coins of Cyprus, Ireland, & Malta.
Only Banknotes, Coins, Community Currencies, & Postal Orders would be covered - arranged by reign & constitutional period.

Absolute nonsense. British Empire / Commonwealth isn’t what is now known as the UK or Great Britain.
Even without googling, and off the top of my head;
Pre Roman- Celtic tribes - now areas of Scotland, Ireland, Wales & Cornwall.
Roman - came from all over the Roman Empire - now areas Central, Southern, Western Europe & Middle East.
Norman - came from France and the Low Countries.
Anglo Saxons - came from Angles and Saxon - now northern Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
Vikings - from Denmarks, Sweden & Norway.
After this England was formed. Then wars and unions with areas of Scotland, Ireland & France. Before spreading virally via the seas, and encountering all the other nations - the history of 2100 years isn’t just British Empire and Commonwealth history but the history of all the other areas involved. You might as well put all this numismatic history under Scotland, no France, no wait Germany, no we are all Roman.
It is like someone in the USA starting a USA numismatic website to cover 2100 years of American history and placing everything you want to place in your website under USA history. The coins of the USA, covering Iron Age & Roman Britain, etc etc…..
If you want to start this vanity project go ahead and discuss it on your own website, Numista does a very good job of categorising all coins exactly where they should be without making up historically inaccurate issuers.

India is still a British Commonwealth country, even though a republic there was declared on 26 January 1950.
British America ceased to exist in 1776.
It was Newfoundland that had the flag of England planted there under the reign of King Henry VII.
The beginning of the English Empire actually started in the 11th. Century with the beginning of the takeover of Ireland.
The English Empire became the British Empire in 1707 with the union of England & Scotland.
Um no, Strongbow invaded Ireland in 1170, which is 12th century not 11th. Also his raids only subdued parts for a few years and the English Pale was only around Dublin until the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
In 1015 Brian Boru was king of all Ireland and Irish kings had ruled since the Bronze Age. Today Ireland thrives.
Plus these people (Strongbow), Henry II etc were all Normans and Frenchmen. Indigenous English control lapsed with the death of Edward the Confessor.
However thats enough from me. I can't be bothered anymore. If you start your site, I won't go near it or support it and keep my loyalty to Numista and Australian Coin Forum.

Roman coins struck in Londinium come under the Romans not the British Commonwealth, Britain didn’t exist - Roman Britain was just a small part of the Roman Empire. If you are advocating education, then you need to be realistic about your history.

What has Xavier to do with your website? Haven't you proposed something like this years ago? You could have learned web design and database architectures in that time and realised that site yourself already.
Make the website yourself? I really do not understand why you think Xavier has anything to do with your website, it would be like me @-ing Xavier being like “I propose you create a website based on my specific little interest and call it flyingredpanda.com ”
Not that I think it's needed, numista is already better than alot of coin websites.
My god, this BCNumismatics keeps arguing a spoon is a knife on everything from his history to his IT knowledge, he just takes a few years to compose his thoughts and goes at it again.

Wow it really is… I'm actually dumbfounded that a user who joined all the way back in 2009, has thousands of posts, is still asking such ridiculous things.
The part that has me in tears of laughter, is him asking one of our referees/moderators to “help” him make a rival site to Numista.
Its like executives from Coke, asking executives from Pepsi for help in creating some new Coke products.
Its like Michael Jackson asking Prince for some of his songs, for the next Michael Jackson album, (Yes I know both are passed on, but lets hypothetically think this may have took place in say 1985).
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
