背面描述	Incuse square punch bearing a geometric multi-rayed star or pinwheel pattern, formed by intersecting diagonal and orthogonal lines radiating from a central point to the corners and midpoints of the square, creating eight triangular sections. The incuse is deeply impressed and nearly fills the entire reverse field, consistent with early Archaic Greek coin-making technique. The design is crisp and symmetrical, with sharp ridges defining each ray. No legend or inscription is present. This type of incuse reverse is characteristic of Lycian dynastic staters of the late Archaic period.

附加信息	Lycian dynastic coinage of this period predates any standardized political authority in the region — these issues were struck by local rulers operating under loose Persian suzerainty, each maintaining enough autonomy to mint independently. The "uncertain dynast" attribution reflects a genuine scholarly impasse: without inscriptions or iconographic anchors secure enough to assign a name, pieces like this remain administratively orphaned despite decades of specialist work, including Müseler's systematic catalog attempts to sort the series by die linkage and stylistic grouping.
