| Beschrijving voorzijde | Goat walking to left in high relief, rendered with fine archaic detail, with a diskelis (triskelion symbol) depicted above the animal's back. The figure is set within a linear border above a dotted groundline, beneath which appear Lycian characters in the lower field. The style is characteristic of early Lycian dynastic coinage, combining Anatolian iconographic traditions with Greek artistic influence. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold triskeles (three-armed spiral) in high relief, centrally positioned within a square incuse punch framed by a dotted border on all four sides. The three curved arms radiate symmetrically from a central boss, with small secondary symbols visible in the angles between the arms. The deeply recessed incuse field and dotted frame are hallmarks of early Lycian dynastic silver coinage of the fifth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kuprilli was among the most powerful of the Lycian dynasts, ruling a federation that maintained striking political independence from Achaemenid Persia despite nominally operating within the satrapal system. His coinage — issued across multiple mints including Limyra — reflects a local authority confident enough to produce silver on a near-regal scale. The Limyran issues are distinguished from his other mint output by subtle die characteristics catalogued by Müseler, though the series remains incompletely understood and attributions continue to be revised.
