Chalkis held a strategically critical position at the narrowest point of the Euripos strait, and its coinage during this window reflects the turbulent decades following the Battle of Chaironeia in 338 BC, after which Macedonian hegemony reshaped mint authority across much of Greece. The city maintained limited autonomous silver production under these constraints, which accounts for the relative scarcity of drachms attributable to this precise period.
BCD Euboia 118 represents one of the more carefully documented attributions in the series, owing largely to the late Leukas collection's systematic die-linking work on Euboian silver.
