This combined presentation brings together Svoronos’s monumental Ptolemaic corpus and sixty-seven detected plates. It covers gold, silver, and bronze from Ptolemy I through Cleopatra VII and across Alexandria, Cyprus, Cyrenaica, Phoenicia, and other possessions. The Svoronos numbering remains standard in catalogues and sales, making the work essential for resolving legacy references, comparing types and controls, and tracing the author’s ruler and mint attributions. Preserve the catalogue number and plate in citations, and consult the separate text and plate volumes when finer detail is required.

Svoronos remains a numbering standard rather than the final chronology. Verify ruler and mint assignments, denomination systems, control marks, die links, and hoard dates against modern Ptolemaic corpora and recent archaeological evidence.
