The hoard, which is the subject of this study, was acquired by the Burdur Museum collection on December 27, 1971. Museum records indicate that the hoard was found in Gölhisar, which is confirmed by the high concentration of Kibyra coins within the hoard. The hoard, which composed a total of 208 bronze coins, was dated between the second quarter of the 4th century BC and 40 BC, including coins from Rhodos (3), Kibyra (152), the Lykian League (4), Boubon (2), Isinda (3), and Selge (1) coins, as well as 38 unidentified coins. While the obverse and reverse types of three of these unidentified coins can be partially identified, their city of origin could not be determined; however, based on their types, they may belong to the city of Kibyra. Due to the poor condition of the remaining 35 coins, it has not been possible to identify their obverse and reverse types. The hoard contains only small-denomination coins, all of which weigh less than 2 g except for six examples. Given the extensive time span covered, it is understood that the coins of Rhodos and Kibyra, remained in circulation for a considerable duration. The Gölhisar Hoard, which is the subject of this study, provides very important data for the dating and chronology of the Kibyra bronze series. Although the city’s bronze series have not been the subject of detailed study to date, the new dating proposals for the series forming Kibyra’s first bronze series, found within the examined hoard, undoubtedly lay an important foundation for such a study.
