Apologies, both sides appear to show an emperor's bust. I'm having trouble uploading to ACF due to file size.

Upload you photos to the discussion. If possible include weight in grams and diameter in millimeters. Your link had only two photos of the obverse, not enough to ID the coin. Link deleted.

Petros,

I echo Anaximander's sentiments. It is a great combination and your calligraphy write-ups are wonderful. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this with us. It is wonderful to see the combination of careful hand lettering for your flips and the modern technology for your data. I relish the old handwritten flips, and I make them part of my collection, with photographs, as you do. It would almost be a shame if you were to use the software to print flips.

Love your coins, too. 😊

I'm stumped on this silver unit. I initially thought it was Celtic but I'm doubting myself now. Its approx 13mm. Any suggestions would be most welcome :-)

Thanks in advance

Regarding the collection management program, I chose OpenNumismat. The program has open-source code, so you can customize it according to your preferences. You can include descriptions of any length in it. You can add up to 8 photos to each coin. The most significant improvement this program has is the ability to generate PDF reports of the entire collection. Unfortunately, none of the available reports satisfied me, so I made modifications to one of them.

Tell me what you think about it.

Over the past month and a half, I've been focused on finding the right software to manage my coin collection and practicing my handwriting in calligraphy. When it comes to describing the coins on labels, I write them in cursive and limit the length to the necessary minimum. It looks like this:
