Mint Side, Pamphylia
Mintage ND (460 BC - 430 BC)
Additional information

Side, a Pamphylian port city with strong trade connections across the eastern Mediterranean, struck these staters during a period when the city retained meaningful commercial autonomy despite operating within the broader sphere of Achaemenid Persian influence. The type is among the earliest and most consistent of Pamphylian silver issues, suggesting a mint operating with deliberate regularity rather than episodic output driven by military need.

Atlan's die study of the Side staters identified enough obverse and reverse die linkages to confirm substantial production across this thirty-year window — not a single emergency issue.
