Phaselis (as well as its neighbour Olympus) in Eastern Lycia minted coins similar to the League coinage, though not on behalf of the League: on the reverse we read the abbreviated name of the city in place of that of the League, suggesting that at this time Phaselis was economically well connected to the League but not a member of it.
