I read a few other ones but seldom participate in them but they are specialised not general ones and in German and Japanese so probably of no help to you.
There is worldofcoins. However, there is only a couple interesting posters over there… <k> who talks about thematics, and eurocoin who posts news about new isssues. Else it’s quite a dead forum with mostly the “please identify my coin” or political topics not linked to numismatics. The moderator over there also tends to be quite casual in censorship if it doesn’t fit his worldview.
in a nutshell, I think Numista covers everything they do better and in a much more systematic, less politically vitriolic way where you are entitled to express your POV as long as it’s respectful and not personal
I subscribe to no other forum than Numista. However, I joined Facebook some years ago just to follow some specific History and Numismatic groups. One of them is a forum on Trinidad & Tobago history where I asked questions and actually got documents and scans of books almost impossible to find outside T&T. I also praise any amateur historian who can come up with a virtually unknown document about a 19th-century baker or blacksmith who happened to countermark his initials on coins…
I also joined FB groups on Canadian colonial tokens and countermarked coins. Sadly, with many such groups, most of the posts are by people who want to sell their 1927 Jubilee medal or Chuck-E-Cheese token and start bidding at $10… But there are still very good and knowledgeable people in the lot.

C'est ce que j'ai fait récemment, il existe en fait d'excellents groupes Facebook, notamment pour les ventes.
I occasionally read or ask questions regarding Russian and nearby countries' numismatics on coins.su
This is a Russian forum and there are many very knowledgeable members in these fields.
J'apprécie vraiment les forums dédiés à des pays spécifiques, car les locaux ont tendance à avoir accès plus facilement à davantage de sources d'information. Malheureusement, je ne parle pas russe... J'espère qu'ils comprennent un peu l'anglais 😅

Si vous pouviez partager ce forum sur les pièces de monnaie japonaises avec moi, je vous en serais reconnaissant. Merci!
Quite small and exclusive, but very good. The people are nice, but page technology stuck in the 2nd millienium as you have a limit of 14MB for coin pictures and nothing over 200kb is allowed.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
