| Beschrijving keerzijde | A wild goat rendered in high relief, crouching to the left with its head turned back sharply to the right in a torsion pose, its legs tucked beneath its body in a resting attitude. The animal's prominent horns and shaggy coat are rendered with fine engraving detail, conveying a lively naturalism typical of Cilician die-cutting of the late fifth century BC. An ivy branch with heart-shaped leaves and a tendril curves gracefully above the goat in the upper field, serving as a decorative device and possible religious allusion. A dotted ground line runs beneath the figure, framing the composition within the broad, shallow incuse of the reverse. |

Kelenderis was a small coastal settlement on the Cilician shore whose coinage punches well above its political weight. The city maintained enough autonomy during the late fifth century to strike a consistent silver series despite sitting uncomfortably between Achaemenid administrative pressure from the interior and Athenian commercial dominance at sea. The stater denomination here aligns with the broader Cilician weight standard, which diverged meaningfully from both the Attic and Phoenician systems — a deliberate choice that kept local exchange legible without full submission to either imperial economy.
