背面描述	A wild goat kneeling to the left in a submissive posture, its head turned sharply to look back over its right shoulder, rendered in careful detail with articulated legs folded beneath its body. The animal's horns, beard, and textured fleece are delineated with precision characteristic of late 5th-century Cilician die engraving. Above the goat, an ivy sprig with a broad leaf and a small flower or berry is depicted in the upper field, serving as a subsidiary decorative and civic emblem. The mint ethnic KEΛEN, an abbreviated form of KEΛENΔEPION, is inscribed in Greek letters within the field.

附加信息	Kelenderis was a Cilician coastal city whose coinage from this period is notable for the consistency of its stater fabric — broad, thin flans struck with a care unusual for a mint of its size. The city's silver supply almost certainly derived from trade networks running inland through the Taurus passes rather than local mining. SNG von Aulock 5620 places this piece within a well-documented sequence, though die linkage studies by Casabonne have shown the Kelenderis stater series to be more chronologically compressed than earlier scholarship assumed.
