| Additional information |
Kelenderis was a Cilician coastal city whose coinage in this period reflects its position as an active maritime trading hub on routes connecting the Levant to the Aegean. The city's silver issues of the late fifth century are among the more artistically ambitious of the Cilician series, produced at a moment when Greek artistic influence was penetrating deeply into the region's numismatic output.
The stater standard used here aligns with the broader Cilician weight system rather than Attic or Aeginetan norms — a deliberate choice that facilitated local and regional exchange without direct dependence on Athenian commercial infrastructure.
