| Additional information |
Cilicia's fifth-century silver coinage presents some of the most stubborn attribution problems in Greek numismatics. Dozens of cities along the southern Anatolian coast struck staters during this period under loose Achaemenid suzerainty, and without a clear ethnic or mint signature, pieces like this one have circulated through scholarship as much as commerce — reassigned, contested, and reassigned again.
The region's satraps occasionally intervened in local mint output, which complicates matters further.
