Near VF, overstruck over a stater Celenderis, Cilicia, generally dated ca. 430–420 BC, the host being particularly clear on both sides of the coin. Staters of Celenderis are infrequently overstruck at Aspendus and this overstrike appears to impact the currently established chronology as the Celenderis issue should be earlier given its reuse here.
