[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4023024, member: 96898"]For me, that depends on the collecting field. My [B]Roman Republican[/B] coins are arranged by Crawford (RRC) number [B]Roman Imperial [/B]coins are arranged chronologically by emperor and, within the emperor groups, by RIC number. Arranging [B]Greek coins[/B] is complicated. My [B]civic Greek coins[/B] are sorted alphabetically by region and city – I think about switching to Eckhel's geographic system, though. Coins from the same city are in chronological order. [B]Coins of the Hellenistic Kingdoms[/B] (Macedonian, Seleucid, Ptolemaic, smaller kingdoms like Cappadocia) and Eastern realms (Achaemenid Empire, Mauryan, Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, Parthia, Kushan, Elymais, Sassanid) are in chronological order. My [B]medieval coins[/B] are roughly arranged by cultural region (England, France, Italy, Spain, German-speaking lands, Eastern Europe, Crusader states including Cilician Armenia, Islamic world, "Indian") and in chronological order. Where necessary, they are subdivided alphabetically by minting authority. Coins that don't fit in these categories live in a "[B]misfits box[/B]". This category includes e.g. Celtic coins, Carthage, Chinese, and Roman provincial coinage. I don't really collect these but have a few examples that I found interesting for one reason or the other.[/QUOTE]
