Die analysis

An overview of the dies used to strike the known Group 1 staters is given in Table 2. All specimens of Type 1.1 listed here were struck from the same obverse die, O1, as shown by several shared details. The reverse die R1, used for variant 1.1a, was apparently soon modified by the addition of the city ethnic; the resulting die, R1b, was subsequently used for all specimens of variant 1.1b. Variant 1.1a thus preceded variant 1.1b.1 Obverse die O2, used for Type 1.2, is stylistically more advanced than O1; Type 1.2 is therefore later.

Type	Ref. No.	Specimen	Coin dies
			Obverse	Reverse
1.1a	HO1001	1	O1	R1
1.1b	HO1002	1	O1	R1b
	HO1003	2	O1	R1b
	HO1004	3	O1	R1b
	HO1005	4	O1	R1b
	HO1006	5	O1	R1b
	HO1007	6	O1	R1b
	HO1008	7	O1	R1b
1.2	HO1009	1	O2	R2

Table 2: Overview of the dies used to strike individual coins

The use of only two die pairs, O1/R1(b) and O2/R2, indicates that the total production of early Group 1 staters was very limited.
