[QUOTE="Milo W, post: 26112332, member: 148792"]Thank you for the detailed comment! Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any papers on the series - though there may be some works out there! Most of what I have found is based on the Auction listings, discussions with my professors, and comparisons with other works.

I did find this article about crescents on coins, but it was not terribly helpful: [URL]https://coinweek.com/star-crescent-ancient-coins/[/URL] I agree with your Apis identification - I wonder if the "Triangle atop Circle" coin is related to the "triangular marking" on Apis.
