| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing lion's scalp rendered in high relief, the mane depicted with bold, stylized radial striations characteristic of Lycian dynastic coinage of the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC. The broad, flattened visage of the leonine head occupies the full field, with prominent ears and deeply incised facial features conveying the fierce naturalism typical of this dynastic series. The irregular flan displays the characteristic fabric of Lycian silver small denomination coinage of the Achaemenid period. |

Mithrapata ruled the Lycian dynasts during a period when Persian satrapal authority was fragmenting across the western Anatolian coast — local rulers struck their own coinage not merely as economic instruments but as assertions of autonomous power that Persian administrators tolerated rather than sanctioned. His name, compounded from the Iranian *Mithra*, signals a family with deep ties to Achaemenid religious culture even as he minted independently.
The Müseler supplement reference being absent here suggests this piece may fall outside the main catalogued die sequences, worth cross-referencing against the Babelon corpus.
