| Additional information |
Kelenderis, a Cilician port city on the southern Anatolian coast, struck small silver fractions throughout the fifth century BC to meet the practical demands of daily market exchange. The hemiobol — at roughly a quarter of a day's wage for a laborer in the Aegean world — circulated alongside larger denominations in a region commercially active enough to require them. Kelenderian coinage of this period is notable for its consistency of type across decades, suggesting a stable, if modest, civic mint rather than emergency or episodic production.
