LYCIA, Limyra (as Zemuri). Circa 390-375 BC. AR Stater (27mm, 9.74 g). Facing lion scalp / Triskeles; ZẼM (in Lycian) around; all within incuse square. Podalia 357 var. (letters on obv.; same rev. die); SNG Ashmolean 1198 var. (incuse circle on rev.); SNG von Aulock 4226 var. (letters on obv.; same rev. die); SNG Copenhagen Supp. 483 var. (incuse circle on rev.). EF, toned, a few light marks on obverse under tone, struck with worn reverse die. Very rare.


The Podalia and von Aulock pieces, struck from the same reverse die as the present coin, have the first letters of the dynast Trbbenimi inscribed on the obverse. Thus, it is likely that this is an example of a civic issue struck in Zemuri contemporary with the issues signed by Trbbenimi.
