Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Kelenderis (Cilicia) was minted during the reign of King Artaxerxes II, who ruled the Achaemenid Empire from 405 BC to 359 BC. This coin features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in ancient Persian on the other side, indicating the coin's weight and purity. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant innovation at the time, as most coins were made of gold or electrum. The fact that this coin was made of silver suggests that the Achaemenid Empire was experimenting with new materials and techniques in their coinage.
