Definition of standard circulation coins on Numista

The following is information from another thread regarding zimbabwean coinage provided by Moneytane. Regarding a coin series from Zimbabwe that are listed on Numista as Standard Circulating Coins.

“There were also some gold coins called Mosi oa Tunya used as bullion, however being individually numbered gold coins weighing one ounce and costing Melt + 5% - its unlikely they will be jingling in many pockets. Just 2000 were released to Zim banks. The rest likely sitting in vaults or sold to collectors/investors.”

My question is why are these Mosi oa Tunya gold coins listed on Numista as Standard Circulation Coins?

They are described as Gold, bullion with legal tender values each individually numbered and certificated and able to be exchanged for zimbabwean or foreign currency.

In my opinion this is even more proof we need a bullion coin category. Or the definition of a standard circulating coin needs redefining perhaps?

Are these even coins let alone standard circulating ones? Plus given the fact that the units and or denominations are not usual for zimbabwe should they not at least appear as non-circulating?

Just a little of Numista history for those interested.

IMO it should be NCLT or Non-circulating coin, but it surely depends on how the Bank categorises the coins. If they have said it is standard circulating coin, then that is what is entered into Numista. I didn’t add the coin to the catalogue and I am not the referee who approved it, so if it has the wrong assigned category of coin it is these two peoples fault. However Numista is community run, so you can go to the bottom of the page and click „modify or add data to this page“ add your supporting evidence and a referee will make a decision.

For reference an earlier forum post;

And the coin;

Oh and PS, adding the coin to the original post helps other members to find what you are talking about easier, and I think that adding an extra category of „bullion coin“ is pointless as the coins can fit under the supplied categories.

Apparently those people are @Some_Nerd  and @Compendium .

And these are all the coins involved.  

I'm not Admin anymore so can't see the history of those pages and don't remember why I would have edited them anyway.
