1/10 Gold Stater - Pumiathon

Pumiathon was the last king of Kition, a Phoenician city-kingdom on Cyprus whose ruling dynasty had maintained considerable autonomy under shifting Achaemenid oversight. His reign ended when Ptolemy I seized Cyprus in 312 BC, dismantled the island's independent kingdoms, and had Pumiathon executed — making this fractional issue one of the terminal products of a political order that had existed for centuries.

The denomination itself reflects Kition's hybrid monetary position, bridging Phoenician weight standards and Greek trading conventions.
