Stater - Kuprilli Limyra

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.
