| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays a large square macedonian-style shield rendered as a decorated incuse or raised panel, subdivided by intersecting diagonal lines forming an eight-pointed pattern with pellets at the intersections, enclosed within a double-lined square border. This bold geometric design is characteristic of the military iconography associated with Illyrian royal coinage. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ appears along the upper margin of the field, and ΜΟΝΟΥΝΙΟΥ is inscribed along the lower margin, together reading 'of King Monounios'. The lettering is in the Greek alphabet, crisply incised in the hammered flan. The overall design conveys royal authority through the combination of the shield emblem and the royal titulature. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
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.
