Commentary
Mêmes coins que l’exemplaire de la Bibliothèque nationale de la BnF (SNG France 2/ 5 = coll. De Luynes n° 2780 = Babelon Traité II, n° 1501) et que l’exemplaire du British Museum (BMC. p. 110, n° 4). Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
Same corners as the copy in the National Library of the BnF (SNG France 2/5 = coll. De Luynes n° 2780 = Babelon Traité II, n° 1501) and as the copy in the British Museum (BMC. p. 110 , no. 4). Seems much rarer than general literature suggests. This is the first time we offer this type for sale

Historical background
CILICIA - NAGIDOS
(4th century BC)
Nagidos was located on the Cilician coast about forty kilometers west of Célendéris. Founded by the Samians, it experienced significant economic development from the end of the 5th century BC. The protective gods of the city were Dionysos and Aphrodite, recalling the Greek origin of the city, without any oriental contribution at the start. Only Pharnabazes seems to have minted coins in Nagidos. The coinage stops at the time of the Macedonian conquest in 333 BC.
