• Implemented image matching algorithms to identify coin dies.
• Applied hierarchical clustering to categorize coins based on visual characteristics.
• Conducted a social network analysis to explore relationships between different coin dies.
• Confirmed the effectiveness of image matching in identifying similarities between coin dies.
• Demonstrated hierarchical clustering can reveal patterns in coin die relationships.
• Proposed a framework for future analyses of archaeological coin data.
