This presents the illustrated catalog of unique die combinations from Albert Gallatin's Syracusan Dekadrachms of the Euainetos Type (1930), covering forty-eight obverse dies. For the full list of known specimens, provenance, and citations for each die, see the main article.
Die Numbering
Gallatin's die names (A.I, C.V, R.XII…) are kept throughout, but he did not number the dies. The running numbers beside them are Sebastiano Maltese's, from the die-link chart in Gli Artisti Firmanti della Zecca di Siracusa (Sapienza Università di Roma, 2018).
- RHead die
- Gallatin’s “obverse”
- OQuadriga die
- Gallatin’s “reverse”
- #Die-link
- Maltese’s number for the pairing
Gaps and quirks
- C.Y, R.Y and the unidentified R.? pairings (C.XIII and E.I) are not numbered by Maltese, so they show without a number.
- Maltese's O18 die and six die-links (4′, 51′, 53′, 54′, 60′, 70′) have no Gallatin specimens, so they appear only in the chart.
- His chart skips row 22 (kept as printed), and prints link 71 twice while stopping at 74 for 75 links, so we number the last four (F.V, F.VI, H.I, L.I) 72–75.

Yellow = die-link (primed number, e.g. 4′) or die (O18) new to Maltese. Separately, a primed row label (18′, 26′…) marks one of Gallatin's five variant dies; those rows aren't highlighted. The blue shading is reproduced from his chart, which does not explain it. * = renumbered by us: Maltese prints 71 twice and stops at 74, so his last four links (F.V to L.I) are shown as 72–75.
