Leukas was one of the last Akarnanians mints to continue producing silver coinage after the Roman reorganization of Greece following the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC, when most regional minting effectively ceased under Roman pressure. The magistrate name Nicocrates appears on a narrow cluster of dies within Callataÿ's late series, suggesting a brief but concentrated period of production rather than a long-running administrative tenure.
The BMC Greek#95 cross-reference anchors this piece to a well-documented hoard context, though Callataÿ Late#219 places it toward the earlier boundary of the post-Pydna window.
