| Additional information |
Side was a Greek colonial city on the Pamphylian coast of Asia Minor that maintained a stubbornly local identity — most visibly in its continued use of an undeciphered archaic script on its coinage long after neighboring mints had adopted standard Greek legends. This stater belongs to the period before Alexander's eastern campaigns reshaped the region's monetary politics, when Side operated with considerable autonomy under loose Achaemenid suzerainty.
The SNG von Aulock reference places this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce series. Specimens outside the major European cabinet collections are uncommon.
