This supplement records additions and corrections for several Anatolian regions. Its value lies less in systematic coverage than in individual notices: unusual legends, unrecorded magistrates, variant types, and references to collections or sales that can supply an early provenance. Like the rest of Mionnet’s Description, the entry is a nineteenth-century inventory of coins known from public cabinets, private collections, earlier books, and the market rather than a modern die corpus. Researchers should note Mionnet numbers, quoted owners, measurements, rarity marks, and cross-references, since these can connect a modern specimen to an early publication or dispersed cabinet.

The terminology, geography, authenticity judgments, dates, and attributions are often obsolete, and measurements may not follow modern conventions. Verify every identification against current corpora and use the original French volume and page when citing a specimen.
