The authors publish eighteen Ptolemaic tetradrachms in Fethiye Museum, reportedly found near Fethiye at Söğütlüdere. The catalogue records the coins and their marks, placing the group alongside established Ptolemaic classifications and comparative hoard evidence. It provides a compact case study for separating issue dates, evidence of circulation such as cuts or countermarks, and the reported location of a find outside Egypt.
