Commentary
Dans son article, H. A. Troxell fournit des informations sur 10 statères de qualité souvent médiocre. Notre exemplaire semble de même coin de droit que les exemplaires de Monnaies et Médailles 25, 17 novembre 1962, n° 471 et Kricheldorf 9, 12 juin 1961, n° 244. Le poids de notre exemplaire est particulièrement lourd et pourrait correspondre à une émission ancienne.
In his article, HA Troxell provides information on 10 staters of often poor quality. Our example appears to have the same obverse die as the examples in Monnaies et Médailles 25, November 17, 1962, No. 471 and Kricheldorf 9, June 12, 1961, No. 244. The weight of our example is particularly heavy and could correspond to an early issue.

Historical background
CARIA - ANONYMOUS
(5th - 4th century BC)
Coinage in Caria began at the very end of the 7th century or at the beginning of the 6th century BC, at Halicarnassus (GC. 3472) with electrum staters. Silver coins appeared in the second half of the 5th century BC with coins of eginetic weight. The archaic period ends at the beginning of the 5th century after the Ionian revolt. Many coins are still unassigned or should be. The few finds, poorly located or fragmented after their discovery do not facilitate this work, however so important for History..
