Adams III 2075; Hunt I 106.
Per CNG, as of beginning of 2024, only 42 examples struck from 3 obverse and 3 reverse dies with 5 die combinations are known. Also there are 5 examples from the Mit Rahineh hoard (IGCH 1658) that were not available for die study.
The attribution to Nektanebo II is based primarily on circumstantial historical evidence and not the coins themselves, which do not bear any specific ethnic or monogram.
Nektanebo most likely would have issued his gold staters to pay the mercenaries in his army. What makes the coinage of Nektanebo stand out is the adoption of a purely Egyptian design. This is the only known ancient coinage to employ a hieroglyph – a purely Egyptian coin.
