Themes have often been discussed, that this should actually be LD overarching, but above all structured.
An overarching theme register, just like for example a Country and Persons Register, will be created some day, but not in the short term.

The only thing that we as a user/administrator can possibly do is to come up with a structure for Thema and try to build it up. However, especially thinking / discussing this will take a lot of time and energy, partly because there will undoubtedly be different ideas about this.
Perhaps there are good usable examples that we can copy or use as a model.

Are there people who find this such an attractive subject that they want to invest time and energy in it?

As a collector of commemorative coins, I also regularly ask myself whether,
as is currently the case, several themes must (can) be entered for one item.
Where I believe that in a lighthouse series "Lighthouse" is the theme,
often multiple themes are filled in.
Then you get for example under theme: Buildings, Towers, Lighthouses.

But sometimes there are also a lot of themes with 1 coin:
Australia
, Trees , Ecology , Waves , Hands , Necklaces , Crowns , Environmental Protection , Earrings
This is a coin from Landscape Australia, an environmental protection organization.
Environmental protection or Ecology should be the theme here.
That was the idea behind issuing this coin.

Australia, trees, waves touch here, but do not cover the load.
Hands, chains, crowns and earrings are depicted on the coin but have nothing
with the idea behind minting/spending this coin.
They are motifs that express the theme on the coin and where
collectors (can) search.

I would greatly reduce the number of themes and possibly. add motifs.

You should have posted this message in the Tokens / Medals forum. Then other collectors / administrators of Tokens may respond to your message.

There will be different opinions on this. For example, with Stamps, every visible item on a stamp is considered a theme. In other sections, usually only the main theme is mentioned.

And let me just think of responding to your first post and want to contribute to it
deliver through my mail.
I don't intend to start a new discussion.
Apparently I misunderstood your question.

OK, I thought you wanted to say something specific about Penny's themes.
My question is more about setting up a generic structure, which could be useful for each heading.

A tip for people who collect a theme, but transcending categories.
For example, take a look at the Coffee milk cup lids section if you collect Flowers , Birds , Cyclists , Football , etc.
In the Thimbles section you will also find beautiful series of, among others: Suske en Wiske , City weapons , Flowers , etc.
