Stater - Khinaka Kandyba

Kandyba was a minor Lycian dynastic center in the Xanthos river region, and Khinaka ranks among the least-documented of the dynasts — his name survives almost entirely through his coinage rather than any inscriptional record. These early Lycian staters were produced under the long shadow of Achaemenid Persian overlordship, with dynasts operating as client rulers whose minting rights were locally granted but politically contingent on Persian tolerance.

The Müseler IV series for Lycia remains the essential reference, though attributions within it are periodically revised as new hoards surface from the region.
