| Additional information |
Monounios is the earliest Illyrian ruler whose name appears on coinage, making this stater a significant marker in the numismatic record of the western Balkans. He is known from a treaty with Pyrrhus of Epirus around 295 BC, and his coins — struck to an Attic-influenced weight standard — suggest active engagement with Greek commercial networks along the Adriatic coast.
The series is genuinely scarce in any condition. Most recorded examples come from hoards found in modern Albania.
