| Reverse description | Bearded head of the Lycian dynast Kherei facing right, wearing the characteristic Persian soft cap (kyrbasia) with its distinctive forward-tilted pointed crown. The portrait is rendered in a mixed Greco-Persian artistic style, with a carefully delineated beard, strong profile, and visible ear. The Lycian inscription identifying the dynast appears before the portrait. The entire design is set within a deep incuse circle, as is typical of Lycian dynastic silver coinage of this period. |
