Stater

Ialysos was one of the three principal cities of Rhodes before the synoikism of 408 BC unified them into a single polis — after that consolidation, the independent coinage of Ialysos effectively ceased. This stater dates to roughly a generation before that merger, placing it squarely in the period of Persian dominance over the eastern Aegean, when Rhodian cities operated under Achaemenid suzerainty following the Ionian Revolt's collapse.

The Rosen and Keckman references both treat this type as scarce in collector hands, with most recorded specimens traceable to a small number of nineteenth-century hoards from the region.
