| Additional information |
Vekhssere II ruled as a minor dynast of Lycia during the period when the region nominally fell under Achaemenid Persian suzerainty, yet Lycian dynasts retained enough autonomy to strike their own coinage — a privilege that sets them apart from most subject peoples of the empire. The tetrobol denomination itself reflects Greek metrology adopted by Lycian minters, a practical concession to regional trade networks.
Vismara's corpus remains the primary reference for this dynastic series, and specimens attributable specifically to Vekhssere II are scarce enough that die studies remain incomplete.
