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.

Bloesch, Winterthur notes a handwritten note by Imhoof Blumer that remarks of Phrygian Dorieion, which has no known coinage (neither the Winterthurer nor the available piece show a "Y" at the end of the legend, actually also "I" is possible).
