| Beschrijving voorzijde | A tunny fish swimming to the right occupies the central field, rendered with fine detail including a striated body and a clearly defined circular eye. Above the fish, a row of eight pellets arches across the upper field, serving as a decorative border element characteristic of early Lycian coinage. The composition is contained within a broad, slightly raised rim on an irregular flan typical of archaic hammered silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kuprilli was among the earliest named Lycian dynasts to strike coins, operating under loose Achaemenid suzerainty at a time when Persian satraps rarely interfered with local coinage prerogatives in Anatolia's western fringes. His issues are the primary numismatic evidence we have for his existence — no Persian administrative record names him. The Lycian script legend on these pieces predates any standardization of the alphabet, making individual letter forms useful to epigraphers mapping the early development of the Lycian language itself.
