Shouldn't info in the 'lettering' field use the actual script used on the coin? [solved]

for example:

N#315580

Shouldn't the ‘lettering’ be

श्री
महा राजा धीराज
राज राजेश्वर नरेन्द्रे
शिरोमणि महाराज
श्री सादुल सीह जी
बहादुर

not

śrī
maharajadhiraja
raj rajeshwar rarendra
shiromani maharaja
śrī Sadul sinhji
bahadur

The best thing should be to have the TWO texts !

The original one AND the transcription in Latin alphabet.

 Agreed. That is how it is meant to be. 

Lettering - actual as on the coin 

Translation - translation 

 Maybe the page was created when all the 

sections were not as they are now. 

No, transcription is not needed. Numista uses the original text on the object and its translation (we are not a linguistic site).

Also many languages would have countless transcription variants like non-alphabetic scripts that are used by multiple widely different dialects.

Even translitteration seems unessesary to me.

Exactly, lettering should be literal.

Permissible exception could be made for scripts that are not “writeable” to Numista, or to computers in general. I would keep it there, until it is possible to write the characters.

The guidelines are very clear, “Use the exact script, spelling, abbreviations, capitalization, punctuation, and special characters. ”

My question is what happened to the reverse lettering?

I removed it.
