| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-face gorgoneion of archaic type, depicted with wide staring eyes, pronounced brow, and a broad grimacing mouth with tongue protruding downward between serpentine coils or locks flanking the chin. The head is set within a shallow incuse square, a standard reverse treatment for small Lycian silver of this period. No legend is present. The apotropaic image is rendered with confident, stylised detail typical of the mid-fifth century BCE. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lycian dynastic coinage of this period emerged from a political structure unlike anything in the Greek world — autonomous local rulers who paid tribute to Achaemenid Persia while minting their own silver, effectively operating as semi-sovereign entities under imperial tolerance. The attribution "uncertain dynast" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse: without a readable ethnic or name inscription, and with overlapping iconographic conventions between ruling houses, positive identification remains impossible despite a century of effort cataloguing these series.
Müseler's classification system, the most current framework for this material, still leaves dozens of dies unassigned.
