Obol - Mithrapata

Mithrapata was among the most powerful of the Lycian dynasts, controlling a territory centered around Faselис and the surrounding region during a period when Lycia sat uneasily between Persian administrative authority and local ambitions. His name — combining the Iranian "Mithra" with "pata" — reflects the Persian cultural overlay common among Lycian ruling families of the period, though his coins were struck to local Lycian standards rather than Persian ones.

The Müseler reference without a trailing catalogue number suggests this piece may fall into an incompletely documented subgroup within the series.
