Selge was one of the few cities in Pamphylia that maintained genuine political independence well into the Hellenistic period, having famously repelled an attack by the Seleucid general Achaeus in the third century BC. By the reign of Severus Alexander, the city's bronze coinage was entirely local in function — small denominations like this one circulated within the city and its immediate territory, never traveling far.

The SNG von Aulock 5307 correspondence anchors this piece firmly within the Hans von Aulock collection, assembled mid-twentieth century and still a primary reference for Asia Minor bronzes of this class.
