| Obverse description | Bare head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet with a ribbed bowl and upturned cheekpieces, rendered in fine archaic style. The facial features are delicately modeled, with strands of hair visible beneath the helmet brim. The plain field surrounds the effigy on an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of hand-struck Lycian coinage of the late fifth century BC. |

| Additional information |
Kadyanda was one of the smaller Lycian dynastic centers, situated inland from the coast and consequently less documented in ancient sources than Xanthos or Telmessos. Hntruma — the dynast's name rendered in the Lycian script — likely governed during the period of sustained Persian suzerainty over the region, when local rulers retained striking privileges as a practical concession rather than an acknowledgment of independence. The Müseler classification for Kadyandan issues remains sparsely populated; surviving specimens attributable to this dynast are few enough that new finds still carry catalog weight.
