Basic classification

The staters are divided into three broad groups based on Lederer’s classification (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 not included in Lederer’s study are assigned to these groups as well. The dates given in parentheses are approximate and are 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.

Possible Alexandrine tetradrachms issued at Nagidos in the late Classical or early Hellenistic period (Price 1991, p. 369, nos. 2988–9) are excluded from the Nagidos catalogue because their attribution is uncertain. They are discussed separately under Notes in the section Alexandrine coins of Nagidos.
