Stater - Uncertain Dynast

Lycian dynastic coinage of this period occupies an awkward archival space — the region's rulers operated with considerable autonomy under Achaemenid Persian suzerainty, issuing their own silver while nominally subordinate to the satrapal administration at Sardis. When the issuing dynast cannot be identified, it usually means the coin falls outside the well-documented sequences of Kheriga, Kherei, or Mithrapata, or carries a partially legible Lycian script inscription that resists clean attribution. The Supplément reference suggests this piece was catalogued after Babelon's original corpus, filling gaps his work left open.
