New Krause catalog? [solved]

Hi all,

I noticed that KM reference for that coin https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5809.html was changed from KM#494 to KM#2304
I'm looking into latest (I think) edition of Krause catalog from year 2019 and I see that this coin have KM#494 catalog number, and there is no such coin KM#2304. So, my question: is it someone incorrectly edited that coin or there are some newer version of Krause catalog?

There is no new Krause catalog, but there is https://numismaster.com/ with some new KM numbers.

Canada KM#2304 exists, but it is 50 Cent coins from 2017 on. The page needs to be split.

There isn't a new Krause but the company above it recently assigned new KM# numbers, amongst them a new KM# reference for the Canada 50 cents coins from 2017, KM# 2304. So the Numista coin page is wrong, the KM# 494 reference number still stands for the 50 cent coins till 2015.
The difference is not much, but the 2017 coin uses another font and the date is further from the crown. Apparently this is enough to give the coins from 2017 another KM# reference (although there might be more slight differences).



You can find the reference numbers here:
- https://numismaster.com/MC_116849
- https://numismaster.com/?id=1842686

Edit: also the lettering is closer to the beads for the 2017 coins.

I want to bring this thread up again, as I was looking into adding the last few years worth of Canadian circulated coins into my collection, and I see a bunch that include the 50 cent coins and some sets that don't.
Looking at the Royal Canadian Mint page for the 50 cents (https://www.mint.ca/en/discover/canadian-circulation/50-cents) the mintage figures finish at 2016 for this coin. I thought, perhaps they just haven't updated, but checking out the other denominations (5 cent for example: https://www.mint.ca/en/discover/canadian-circulation/5-cents), they all have mintages up to 2020, a few years behind the present day, but going off the topic above that Krause changes the KM number for the 50 cent coin from 2017 onwards, that to me means the coin has changed between 2016 and 2017, and even made the 50 cents from 2017 as uncirculated.

Do we need to make the split happen so for KM#494 they go up to 2016 and 2017 to 2022 is removed from N#5809 and put into KM#2304 only as uncirculated?

Also, and I think this has been mentioned in another post, the ‘In The Name of Elizabeth II’ coins are under circulating commemorative, despite no actual line for a circulating coin, so should these be switched to uncirculated too?

Looking at the Royal Canadian Mint page …

That discussion would be better under the Numista coin catalog forum, and with a better title.
