| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in fine provincial style with detailed laurel wreath and ribbons visible at the nape. The effigy occupies the central field with a circular Greek legend surrounding it along the periphery. The portrait displays strong facial features characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage, with a firm jaw and pronounced brow. |

| Additional information |
Struck in the fourteenth year of Domitian's reign, this Lycian koinon issue dates to 95 AD — the final years of an emperor whose memory the Senate would formally condemn upon his assassination in 96. The legend records his seventeenth consulship, one of several held in absentia as a political formality rather than an active magistracy. Provincial silver of this type circulated alongside Roman imperial issues in Lycia et Pamphylia, the consolidated province created under Vespasian in 74 AD, where the koinon retained limited autonomous coinage rights under careful imperial supervision.
