| Additional information |
Tarsos operated as a semi-autonomous satrapal mint under Achaemenid oversight during this period, producing small silver fractions that circulated alongside Persian-issue coinage across Cilicia. The city's mint was active enough to supply local markets without full Persian administrative control — an arrangement that held until Alexander's campaigns ended it permanently.
The SNG France and Sunrise references both place this squarely among the better-documented Cilician fractional series, though individual die pairings within the type still attract specialist attention.
