Communities and coin hubs
Groups built around what people actually collect — the 50p coins, the A–Z 10p hunt, Beatrix Potter — with a page for each.

What a community is
A community is a group of collectors organised around a set of coins — every 50p, the A–Z 10p hunt, the Beatrix Potter series, £2 coins, and so on.
Each has its own page listing every coin in that set, how many collectors here hold one, and the stories written about them. Any coin page links to the communities its coin belongs to, and Communities lists every one that has a page.
Inside a community
A community page is built from the catalogue, so its numbers are always current — the coin count, the year range, the collectors holding one.
It is the quickest way to see how far through a set you are, and which coins are the hard ones. Cross-reference it with your collection to find the gaps, then put those coins on your want list.
The page itself
Each community leads with what it is and how many collectors here hold its coins.
Why some sets do not have a page
A community only gets a page once there is enough behind it to be worth reading: at least 30 coins in the set, and real signs of people around it — collectors here holding those coins publicly, or stories written about them.
Below that it would be a thin list, so we leave it out rather than publish a page with nothing on it. Sets cross that line as the catalogue and the membership grow.
