Lycian letters appear in the field flanking the triskeles — to the upper left, upper right, and below — consistent with the dynastic name abbreviation of Kuprilli. The incuse square technique typical of early Lycian coinage is evident in the execution of the reverse field.

Aanvullende informatie

Kuprilli was among the earliest dynasts to strike coins in Lycia, operating under loose Achaemenid Persian oversight while maintaining enough local autonomy to issue his own silver. The Mørkholm & Zahle classification places this type firmly within the transitional phase when Lycian dynastic coinage was still developing its own visual grammar, borrowing heavily from Greek weight standards — the Aeginetic-derived tetrobol — while remaining politically subordinate to Persia following Cyrus the Younger's consolidation of Anatolian satrapies.

Limyra would later become the dynastic capital under Pericles of Lycia in the following century, but under Kuprilli it was already a mint of consequence.
