Peucolaos (or Peukolaos) is another king about whom we know next to nothing. His coins are extremely rare, and
all use just one set of monograms, so his reign must have been short and his kingdom very limited in size. All coin photos on this page, courtesy CNG.
Apart from the coins below, Peucolaos also issued square bronze units.
