Historical Context: This 1/2 Stater was issued by the Satrapy of Lydia during Cyrus the Great's reign (548 BC - 515 BC). After Cyrus's conquest, the Achaemenid Empire adopted Lydia's advanced monetary system. These silver fractions mark a crucial transitional period where Persian authority maintained established Lydian coinage
