| Additional information |
Stagira is remembered today almost exclusively as the birthplace of Aristotle, born there around 384 BC, but the city's coinage predates him by over a century. A member of the Chalcidian colonial network on the Thracian coast, Stagira minted independently before Philip II of Macedon destroyed the city in 348 BC — later rebuilding it at Aristotle's personal request, according to ancient sources.
Surviving examples are rare enough that die links between specimens have proved difficult to establish with confidence.
