| Additional information |
Kherei ruled Pinara during a period when Lycian dynasts operated with considerable autonomy under nominal Achaemenid suzerainty, striking their own silver in a tradition that predates the region's absorption into more rigid Persian administrative structures. The Lycian stater series from this period draws on both Hellenic and Persian artistic conventions simultaneously — a product of geography as much as politics.
Pinara itself was one of the six principal cities of ancient Lycia, later a member of the Lycian League, though that federation postdates this issue by centuries.
