Please add the "Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato" as an issuing entity [επιλυμένο]

Hi,

I'd like to add the official issuing entity for the Republic of Italy, since it's surprisingly missing on Numista.

Following this guide[1], I'm providing all the necessary information:

- the name of the entity in English: State Mint and Polygraphic Institute

- the name of the entity in the language of its country: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato

- a description of the entity: IPZS prints official state publications, state marks and seals, postal stamps and manufactures coins

- the issuer(s) in which this entity issued items: 

- the origin country of the entity: Italy

- the type of entity: the IPSZ is a public limited company with the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance as sole shareholder

- its Wikidata code: Q81191

- if there are no entries yet on Numista, the link to an auction site or a reference catalogue presenting at least one coin or banknote from this entity: https://www.shop.ipzs.it/en/025-flora-e-fauna-ag48-2ms10-25f0005.html 

- if they already exist, the link of one or more Numista records that you want to classify under this entity: N#460727

I hope I'm doing this right, I'm a newbie and I'm trying my best :) Thank you

Hello,

IPZS is the mint, and it is present on Numista as:

coins: Rome, Italy

banknotes: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, Rome, Italy

As reported in the Banca d'Italia official site:

“ In Italy, euro coins are minted by the State Printing Works and Mint on behalf of the Ministry of Economy and Finance which, in its capacity as issuing authority, ensures that they are distributed nationally through the Sections of the State Treasury operating jointly with the branches of the Bank of Italy.”

So, according to catalogue guidelines, the Issuing entity isn't different from the government of the state.

Thank you for your reply Feder.
May I ask what should I choose while adding a coin not currently present on Numista as issuing entity for a coin that is made by IPZS?



Thank you

I wouldn't enter anything, (you can leave it Unknown).

Regards,

Feder

Thank you!

Issuing entity should be added only when (among others) differs from mint: https://en.numista.com/help/issuing-entity-104.html
