Didrachm - Sotion

Leukas, a Corinthian colony on the Akarnanian coast, continued striking silver coinage well into the second century BC despite the Roman settlement of Greek affairs after Pydna in 168 BC, which stripped much of the region's political autonomy. The magistrate name Sotion appears on a limited run within this late series catalogued by Callataÿ, placing this piece among the final decades of independent civic coinage from the island before Roman administrative pressure rendered local silver issues economically redundant.
