While the similarities to the type of Mithrapata suggest an attribution to that dynast, all of his coins bear at least a portion of his name and there are no letters on this coin. As types tend to be transferred from dynast to dynast, it is possible that this issue is from a contemporary of Mithrapata. The sea serpent, though, is not present on any published specimen of a Lycian dynast, which suggests that this coin may not be from the dynasts' series at all.Oct 08, 2005 (BC 440-425) Kheriga - 1/3 Stater1047 viewsKheriga (Gergis, son of Harpagos), Dynast, ca 450-410 BC.
