Hello, I've recently been trying to obtain coins from Imperial and Colonial Brazil. While reviewing Numista, I came across a problem: the difficulty of separating them by period. My suggestion is to create sections that represent these periods:
Colonial (1500-1822)
Imperial (1822-1889)
Republic (1889-Today)
This would make things much easier. This type of division already exists for some countries and territories here on Numista, such as Russia, France, and Georgia.
Furthermore, I noticed another problem, which I mentioned in another thread, that I haven't received a response to.
Portugal also used Brazilian colonial coins in its other territories, resulting in duplicate coins in the site, with differing descriptions and information.
Although Brazil gained its independence in 1822, the other territories remained colonies until the so-called "Carnation Revolution," which led to the independence of Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe between 1974 and 1975.
Therefore, all these colonies would also require a revision of the coin list up to 1822. Because of this, one idea is to include a section on Portuguese colonial territories for the years 1500 to 1822. This would simplify the catalog somewhat and avoid duplicates.
