Stater - Kherei

Kherei ruled as dynast of Lycia during the late fifth century BC, a period when the region operated under nominal Achaemenid Persian suzerainty while local dynasts maintained genuine administrative and monetary autonomy. His coinage belongs to a tradition of Lycian staters that drew selectively from Greek weight standards while retaining iconographic choices rooted in Anatolian practice. The Müseler supplement reference places this among the less common die pairings within his series — Kherei's output was modest compared to later dynasts like Mithrapata or Perikle.
