| Reverse description | A lyre rendered in bold relief occupies the central field, its strings and resonating body clearly delineated. To the left of the lyre, a branch — likely a laurel or palm branch — serves as a secondary symbol. The Greek legend, recording the regnal year (year 14) and consulship (17th), is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The composition reflects the Lycian Koinon's use of Apolline imagery, the lyre being an attribute of Apollo, the principal deity of the region. The overall style is characteristic of the late 1st-century CE provincial mint tradition of Lycia. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Domitian in 95 AD, the year legend ΕΤΟΥϹ ΙΔ marks this as a year-14 reckoning within the Lycian provincial era, while ΥΠΑΤΟΥ ΙΖ records his 17th consulship — a pairing that pins the issue precisely to a single administrative year. The Koinon of Lycia, reorganized as part of the combined province of Lycia et Pamphylia under Vespasian, retained the right to strike small silver for regional circulation, one of relatively few eastern koina permitted to do so under the Flavians.
