Nagidos was a small but commercially active Cilician coastal city, and its silver stater coinage circulated during a period when the region operated under loose Achaemenid suzerainty — local dynasts and city authorities issued their own currency so long as Persian tribute obligations were met. The Lederer reference placing this piece at #9 in his Nagidos sequence puts it among the earlier identified die groupings from this mint, which produced a relatively limited corpus.
Nagidos itself was eventually absorbed into the territory dominated by Tarsos, effectively ending its independent coinage by the mid-fourth century.
