Two different hypotheses (co-regency or denomination
markings) for the symbolism of two eagles on Ptolemaic bronze coins
The first two-eagle
coins: The denominations of early Ptolemaic bronze coins - Ptolemy II,

Bronze coins of Ptolemy II illustrated; with comparisons of denominations, similarities and differences

Review evidence that bronze coins of Ptolemy II and later kings do not have denominational markings
Coin weights show M. Price's suggestion that two eagles indicate a diobol is very unlikely,
also see the next link
Hoard data shows that two eagles were not denominational markers
Are there six or eight denominations of Ptolemy II's bronze coins?

G. Le Rider and F. de Callata˙'s view that there are six denominations
Ptolemy VI's bronze coins: Do two-eagles represent a double denomination on any of the coins?

New data shows the assumption that two-eagles indicate a double denomination is not valid

Some
difficulties in determining the date of Ptolemaic coins, examples of solutions to the dating problems
The generally expected distribution of dates for coins in hoards
and an illustration of the distribution for the Coinex hoard
Contents of the Coinex hoard (with illustrated examples)
The shift in date caused by the countermarking of earlier coins with examples from the Coinex hoard
Two different methods for analysis of the Coinex hoard
The date of a monetary reform is determined from the known date of countermarked coins in the hoard
Attributions by M. Thompson and M. J. Price
help to attribute the later coins in the Coinex hoard
An incorrect method used to determine the
closing date of the Coinex hoard
An incorrect method of attribution
ignored the date known for the countermarking
An incorrect attribution treated pre-reform coins
as if they had not been re-issued by a monetary reform
