| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing bearded head of the dynast Perikles, turned slightly to the left, rendered in a bold and expressive style characteristic of Lycian coinage. The hair is depicted in dramatic, wild disarray, radiating outward from the head in deeply incised locks, conveying a sense of heroic energy. The facial features are finely articulated, with a prominent brow, strong jaw, and full beard, reflecting the high artistic standard of fourth-century BC Lycian die-engraving. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Additional information |
Perikles was the most powerful of the Lycian dynasts, controlling much of the region during the mid-fourth century and waging an ultimately unsuccessful rebellion against Persian authority — likely the Satrapal Revolt of the 360s BC. His coinage was struck at several mints across Lycia, with Antiphellos among the more productive, issuing silver on the Lycian weight standard that persisted stubbornly through Persian suzerainty. The SNG von Aulock 4250 reference places this piece within a well-documented but not abundant type.
