Additional information

Kherei ruled the Lycian dynastic seat of Telmessos during a period when Lycia occupied an awkward political position — nominally under Achaemenid suzerainty yet operating with considerable autonomy, issuing its own coinage in a distinctly local idiom that owed little to Persian monetary conventions. His staters follow the Lycian weight standard, not the Persic, a quiet assertion of regional independence that the satraps in Sardis apparently tolerated.

The Müseler reference places this among a small, reasonably well-documented dynastic series, though die studies remain incomplete and specimen populations across institutions are thin enough that new examples still occasionally revise attribution boundaries.
