A bronze issue of Adramyteion in Mysia, dated to around 350 BC, was struck in the Late Classical period, when the cities of western Asia Minor operated within the framework of the Achaemenid Empire while often maintaining their own civic minting traditions.
Adramyteion, situated on the Gulf of Adramyttion, is mentioned in ancient sources, including Herodotus, Thucydides, and Strabo, as a city of strategic and commercial importance.
