| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse square divided into four quadrants, containing within a dotted border a triskeles or similar rotational design composed of three curved, interlocked elements radiating from a central pellet, rendered in shallow relief within the sunken field. The quadrants of the incuse are delineated by raised lines forming a cross pattern. Small additional symbols, possibly a circle and subsidiary marks, appear in the upper field. The technique is characteristic of archaic Lycian dynastic coinage of the fifth century BC, with the incuse punch impression dominating the reverse fabric. |

Kuprilli is among the earliest named Lycian dynasts whose coinage can be attributed with confidence, ruling during a period when Lycia operated as a tribute-paying satrapy under Achaemenid Persian authority while retaining considerable local autonomy. His silver staters follow the Lycian weight standard rather than the Persian siglos standard — a quiet but deliberate assertion of regional monetary independence from the empire collecting his taxes.
The BMC Greek 68 reference places this firmly in the British Museum's core Lycian dynastic sequence established through 19th-century excavation and acquisition, much of it sourced from the Xanthos region.
