Drachm - Ddenewele

Ddenewele is among the lesser-documented dynasts of Lycian coinage, operating within a region where local rulers maintained striking autonomy under loose Achaemenid Persian suzerainty. The late fifth century BC saw a proliferation of such dynastic issues across Lycia, each mint producing coins in Lycian weight standards that circulated primarily within the region rather than in broader Aegean trade networks. Müseler's cataloguing of this series remains the primary scholarly framework, though attribution gaps persist for several minor dynasts, Ddenewele among them.
