Stater

Tylisus was a minor Cretan city-state whose independent coinage output was extremely limited, and this stater represents one of the earliest and most sparsely documented issues in the civic series. The references cluster around a handful of known specimens — the Jameson and Delepierre collection numbers suggest the total surviving population remains in the low dozens at best.

Crete during this period sat outside the main currents of Hellenistic monetary reform, with poleis continuing to strike on the Aeginetan weight standard well after much of the Greek world had shifted. Tylisus would eventually be absorbed by neighboring Knossos, ending its independent mint.
