| Beschrijving keerzijde | Roaring lion's head depicted in three-quarter facing view to the left, rendered with bold, deeply cut relief typical of the archaic Lycian tradition. The open jaws reveal prominent teeth and a textured tongue, while the mane is rendered with a series of fine, radially incised striations conveying great naturalistic energy. A dotted border frames the design on the left and right sides, with a plain vertical incuse panel to the right of the lion's head. The surrounding field is plain, and the flan exhibits the characteristic irregular shape of hammered archaic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lycian dynastic coinage of this period presents one of the most persistent attribution problems in Greek numismatics. The satrapal structure of Lycia under Achaemenid suzerainty produced numerous local rulers who struck in their own names — or sometimes without naming themselves at all — making secure attribution dependent almost entirely on die-linkage studies and findspot evidence. Rosen 697 falls into the category of pieces where neither the issuing dynast nor his seat has been conclusively established.
The Rosen collection itself, dispersed at auction in 1983, remains a key reference corpus for this material precisely because so few institutional collections had systematically gathered Lycian dynastic issues before it.
