| Additional information |
Soloi was one of the more culturally anomalous cities of Cilicia — a Greek foundation whose inhabitants became so notorious for mangling the Greek language that the word "solecism" derives directly from their name. The city sat on the western Cilician coast under successive Persian, then Macedonian authority during precisely the window this stater was struck, passing through the hands of Alexander's generals during the Wars of the Diadochi.
The SNG von Aulock 5871 variety designation signals a die difference from the primary catalogued type — worth cross-referencing against Göktürk's supplementary Cilician material for attribution confidence.
