| Additional information |
Kherei ruled the Lycian dynasts during a period when the region operated as a semi-autonomous satrapy under loose Achaemenid suzerainty, issuing coins that reflect a distinctly local identity rather than Persian imperial convention. His staters belong to a coinage tradition rooted in the Lycian weight standard, diverging from both Aeginetan and Attic norms that dominated neighboring mints.
Sunrise 80 is among the better-documented attributions in the Sunrise Collection catalog, which remains a primary reference for Lycian dynastic coinage following its 2008 auction.
