Tetradrachm - Demetrios

Kyme was among the oldest Greek settlements on the Aeolian coast, and by the mid-second century BC the city was operating within the gravitational pull of Pergamene influence — the Attalid kingdom dominated western Asia Minor during precisely this window. The choice to strike tetradrachms in the name of a magistrate rather than a king reflects the city's technically autonomous status, a distinction Kyme maintained carefully even as Pergamon controlled the broader political reality.

BMC Greek 76 places this among a well-documented magistrate series, with Demetrios identified by name as the issuing authority.
