Obol - Hntruma Kadyanda

Kadyanda was one of the lesser Lycian dynastic centers, situated in the highlands above the Xanthos valley. The dynast Hntruma — also rendered Ntruma in some die studies — remains poorly documented in ancient sources, known almost exclusively through his coinage. These fractional silver pieces represent the smallest unit of account circulating in a region where dynasts asserted independence through coin issues even as Achaemenid Persian authority nominally extended across Lycia throughout the fifth century.
