Beschrijving keerzijde Incuse square design featuring a coiled serpent rendered in high relief at the center, its body forming interlocking loops in a dynamic, swirling composition. The incuse square is bordered by a raised dotted border on all four sides, a hallmark of early Lycian dynastic coinage. In the lower left corner of the incuse field, the dynastic abbreviation in Lycian script is visible. The entire reverse is deeply recessed relative to the coin's surface, produced by an incuse punch technique typical of archaic Asia Minor coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Kuprilli was among the earliest named Lycian dynasts to strike coinage, operating under loose Achaemenid suzerainty at a moment when Persian administrative reach into southwestern Anatolia was more nominal than enforceable. His issues are rare enough that the BMC entry for this type draws on a very small corpus of specimens, making die links between surviving examples relatively straightforward to trace. The weight standard follows the Lycian reduced stater norm rather than the heavier Aeginetic system used by contemporaries further west.
