| b. | Several specimens on the market, e.g. Roma Numismatics Limited, Auction 19 (26 March 2020), Lot 563 (acsearch.info URL) | |
| Die links: | All known specimens are struck from the same obverse and reverse dies. The only difference is that the variant 1.1a does not yet have the ethnic on the reverse. Therefore, the variant 1.1a must have preceded the variant 1.1b in time and represents the early state of the dies. | |

| Remarks: | (1) | The design of the obverse is much more elaborate than that of Type 1.1. It can therefore be assumed that the minting of third staters began later than the minting of staters. |
| (2) | The dolphin is also found on Holmoi staters from the 4th century BC, see Group 2, Type 2.1. This symbol was also used on the reverse of some Kelenderis coins from the 4th century BC, see the catalogue of Kelenderis coins, Types 2B.1 (stater), 2B.2 (third stater) and 3G.1 (stater). | |
