Happy to inform that I've finished updating Guatemala's catalog. Several coins were added; over 100. And all coins were revised and updated accordingly.
A lot of the Counter-marked and Counter-stamped coins are missing images due to their rarity, so if any user has any or found any at an approved source site please upload the picture and I will see it gets approved (if it is the correct one of course). I made sure that the most of information was placed on those, so that the lack of images doesn't make them useless. They have their host coins linked and the type of mark or stamp used described in detail.
For most other coins there were pictures available, so only a few of the modern ones are missing pictures (commemoratives as usual), so, again if anyone has them please upload them. If you don't want or can't trim them to a circular shape, just send them as a square bordering their circumference and I will see that they get properly trimmed and the credit will stay as yours of course (or the site from where you took it).
Happy navigating through Guatemala's catalog. 315 coins now.
Now I maybe go for one of the small ones under my jurisdiction to take a break.

Just finished El Salvador as well. One of the smallest ones due to the fact that they don't have own currency anymore. Went from 82 to 144; didn't added patterns because there were no images for any, and they are so rare that i doubt they are needed. Might add them in a second revision once I am done with the rest of the Vicerroyalty.
Please add Guatemala 1 quetzal 1998 (KM#284). It is considered to be a trial coin, and may have reeded or plain edge. And it sometimes appears in circulation.

Its image was for the first time published at my website: http://ciscoins.net/america/guatemala/engt1990.htm#1998
Done, thanks for the info.

Nicaragua is up to date now. Nearly doubled the catalog size.
Really enjoyed that one because it was small hehe and most are modern and not a single counter-marked. They instead used US Dollar coins as legal tender without stamping during a long time.
Venezuela is next. Already started today and will do chunks of it every day and hopefully next week it should be done.
P.S. Nicaragua only needs the currencies to be sorted by Xavier. The request has been made and it depends on his availability.
P.S.2. The Cordoba was all wrong and mixed with wrong time lenghts. The new order with the propper three is now clean and with their time lapses correct.

You mean the periods still have to be placed in chronological order in stead of alphabetic order (like they are now for the moment and that is indeed unlogical)?
1st Córdoba (1912-1987)
2nd Córdoba (1988-1990)
3rd Córdoba "Oro" (1991-date)
El Viejo - Real (1824)
Granada - Real (1823-1824)
Leon - Dollar (1877)
Real (1808-1822)
Peso (1878-1912)

Yes, that is what I asked for. He hasn't read the message yet, so he might be out somewhere. The top three should be at the bottom as they are the most recent ones, and all in order of dates.
I had to remove the older 2 Cordoba currencies that were present. Because they were wrong, and their dates were wrong as well.
The first one had dates from 1912-1988 and the Cordoba Oro was from 1911-Date.
Seems whoever created them got confused and the error was never fixed. Also the Second Cordaba was completely ignored because of how short lived it was. And I think most of the error comes from the catalogs that don't really separate them in their listings.

Today I finished updating Venezuela. I was tempted to ask the creation of the "Venezuelan Provinces" to move there everything from Barinas to Tachira (similar to the Argentinan Provinces). But the catalog is quite short; not reaching 200 with them included, so I think it is fine as it is.
Although they can pretty much be separated if needed; specially because the catalogs give the repeated numbers; unlike Mexican States coins in where they have consecutive numeration among the rest of the coins (why I never asked the creation of "Mexican States").
So let me know what do you think; should the "Venezuelan Provinces" be created? Or is it just fine leaving them as they are in a less-than-200 catalog?
