Are There Denominational Indicators on Ptolemaic Bronze Coins?

This review of the bronze coins of Ptolemies II, III, IV, V and VI argues that the Ptolemaic mint did not have a deliberate policy of denominational marking, and that the recent conclusion that Ptolemy II's monetary reform of 266-261 BC involved denominational marking and produced six rather than eight denominations is invalid. The general absence of denominational markings leads to suggestions about how the value of the smallest Ptolemaic bronze coins was determined in ancient transactions.
