Basic classification
Staters are segmented into three groups, that roughly correspond to the aggregate segmentation according to Lederer 1931:
- Group 1 (c. 420–380 BC): Lederer I–III (nos. 1–19) and other types and variants,
- Group 2 (c. 380–360 BC): Lederer IV–VII (nos. 20–33) and other types and variants,
- Group 3 (c. 360–333 BC): Lederer VIII–X (nos. 34–92) and other types and variants.
Coin types and variants missing from Lederer are also included in these groups. The dating of these groups given in brackets is approximate and based on Lederer 1931, SNG France 2 and SNG Levante. Lower silver denominations (third staters, obols, hemiobols and tetartemorions) and bronze coins are listed in separate sections.

Lederer’s types mapping
Philipp Lederer’s 1931 study “Die Staterprägung der Stadt Nagidos” is still the most detailed work on Nagidos’s staters. The following table maps the coin types in Lederer’s study to the coin types in this preliminary online catalogue.
