Additional information

Kelenderis was a Cilician coastal city whose coinage largely escaped Persian monetary pressure during the fifth century, striking on the Persic weight standard but operating with notable independence. The stater series from this decade is among the earliest from the mint, and the SNG Levante and France references place this piece within the foundational group before the type stabilized into later, more formulaic production.

Ura, named in the coin's classification, was a neighboring Cilician settlement — the precise administrative or ethnic relationship between the two towns in this period remains debated among specialists.
