Prepare documented records or observations for the specific coin or issue context. Enter the required labels, reference table or evidence flags and retain the supporting catalog and examination notes for interpretation.
How to use Ptolemaic Bronze Record Lookup and understand its results
- Prepare documented records or observations for the specific coin or issue context. Enter the required labels, reference table or evidence flags and retain the supporting catalog and examination notes for interpretation.
- Enter denominationLabels, recordIds, referenceWeightsGrams, references, queryRecordId using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read denominationLabel, recordId, reference, referenceWeightGrams. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| denominationLabels | Denomination labels | list of string | Required |
| recordIds | Record identifiers | list of string | Required |
| referenceWeightsGrams | Reference weights (g) | list of number | Required |
| references | Catalogue references | list of string | Required |
| queryRecordId | Query record identifier | string | Required |
Enter nonempty aligned ID, denomination, positive finite reference-weight and reference lists with a query ID. Use exact case-sensitive indexOf; return the first matching row. An absent query is an input error.
index=first exact record ID match; return aligned label, grams and reference Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| denominationLabel | Denomination label | string |
| recordId | Record identifier | string |
| reference | Catalogue reference | string |
| referenceWeightGrams | Reference weight (g) | number; minimum: 0 |

}Limitations and assumptions
Duplicate IDs are allowed and first wins. Labels/references are not authenticated or fetched, and no observed coin is weighed or attributed.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Alexander Drachm Monogram Record Lookup: Look up a monogram only within a caller-supplied, parallel mint-and-reference dataset; the mark alone is not treated as a universal mint attribution. For a complementary task, use Greek Mint Attribution Reference: Return an evidence hierarchy for attributing an ancient Greek coin to a city or mint.
