| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing lion scalp rendered in high relief, displaying the full mane radiating outward in bold, striated locks. The lion's eyes, broad muzzle, and bared teeth are modelled with considerable naturalistic detail characteristic of Lycian dynastic coinage. Immediately below the snout, a triskeles symbol is positioned to the left, serving as a dynastic emblem. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the design occupying the full field in the robust style associated with the Dynast Mithrapata's issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mithrapata was among the most powerful of the Lycian dynasts, controlling a substantial territory in southwestern Anatolia during a period when Persian suzerainty over the region was nominally intact but practically loose. His name — a compound honoring the Iranian deity Mithra — signals the layered Persian-Lycian identity common among ruling families of the satrapal fringe, yet his coinage was struck to the Lycian standard, not the Persian siglos weight, a quiet assertion of local autonomy. The stater series attributed to him is one of the more extensively documented dynastic issues from the region, with die studies suggesting a mint operating at considerable volume across his reign.
