Stater

正面描述	A youthful nude male figure depicted in the act of apobates, seated sideways upon a prancing horse moving to left, his right hand grasping the reins and his left hand holding a goad. The rider leans forward dynamically, preparing to dismount and run alongside the horse in the traditional athletic discipline. The composition is rendered in high relief with vigorous, naturalistic modelling characteristic of Cilician coinage of the late fifth century BC.

附加信息	Kelenderis was a small but strategically positioned port on the Cilician coast, and its silver coinage of this period reflects a mint operating at the height of its artistic ambition. The city's staters rank among the most technically accomplished provincial issues of the fifth century, attracting serious attention from the Berlin and Paris cabinets since the nineteenth century — hence the density of SNG representation across three major collections. The specific die alignment and style place this piece within a narrow production window, likely before the city came under increasing Persian administrative pressure later in the century.
