DYNASTS OF LYCIA. Kherei, circa 430-410 BC. Stater, Tlos mint.
Obv: Helmeted head of Athena to right.
Rev: ππππππππ-πππππ (Lycian; =kerαΊ½i-tlawi); Gorgoneion within border of dots in a circular incuse.
There are two or three known examples. The photo is my composite of the Jameson specimen and the example auctioned in Switzerland by Nomos.
The inscription is in Lycian and names the ruler and the city of issue.
