Tetrobol - Uncertain Dynast

Lycian dynastic coinage of this period predates the region's absorption into the Achaemenid satrapal system as a formally administered province, issued instead under local rulers whose names — where they survive at all — appear in Lycian script on only a fraction of known types. The attribution "uncertain dynast" is not a failure of scholarship so much as an honest reflection of how many minor dynasts operated simultaneously across the region's fragmented political geography, striking small silver for local exchange with no obligation to advertise themselves clearly to posterity.
