Dynasts of Lycia. Perikles (Ca. 380-360 BC). Æ (No reserve price)

The dynasts of Lycia represent the local rulers of an ancient region located in what is now Turkey’s southwestern coast. Lycia was known for its unique culture and confederation of city-states, flourishing during classical antiquity. This coin, attributed to Perikles who ruled approximately between 380 and 360 BC, is an ancient bronze (Æ) issue. Coins from this period and region often carry distinctive Lycian symbols and inscriptions, offering insight into the political autonomy and artistry of Lycia during Persian and then Hellenistic influence. Such coins are valuable to historians and collectors as they shed light on regional governance, iconography, and the economic history of Asia Minor in the classical era.
