Stater

Nagidos was a small Greek colonial city on the Cilician coast, modern-day southern Turkey, and its silver staters represent one of the earliest autonomous coinages from that stretch of coastline. The city's output was limited — the known dies are few, and the "var." citations against both SNG France and Lederer suggest this piece deviates in some detail from the closest parallels, whether in die alignment, control mark, or subsidiary symbol.

Cilician coinage of this period operated under persistent Persian suzerainty, yet Nagidos struck in its own name rather than under a satrap's authority — an independence that ended when the region was absorbed more tightly into the Achaemenid administrative system around the mid-fourth century.
