| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of a grotesque or demonic figure rendered in archaic style, with pronounced large staring eye, broad flattened nose, and open beak-like mouth; the hair or headdress radiates outward from the crown in bold incised lines. The facial features are heavily stylized in the early Lycian artistic tradition, with a row of pellets visible to the left of the face. Portions of outstretched wings or limbs appear at the periphery, suggesting the figure may be a winged demon or hybrid creature. The design fills the flan in high relief, characteristic of early fifth-century BC Lycian coinage. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lycian fractional silver from this period presents persistent attribution problems — the absence of inscriptions on many early dynastic issues makes firm assignment to a specific ruler nearly impossible. The SNG von Aulock references group these under "uncertain dynast" precisely because the Lycian dynastic sequence before roughly 450 BC remains contested, with overlapping reigns and regional sub-authorities issuing independently of one another.
The sixth-stater denomination served real transactional needs in a region deeply integrated into Aegean trade networks long before Persian administrative pressure standardized larger denominations.
