| Additional information |
Chios maintained remarkable monetary independence throughout the late fifth and early fourth centuries, even as neighboring Ionian cities cycled through Persian and Athenian monetary dominance. This series corresponds to the period following the dissolution of the Delian League in 404 BC, when Chios — having backed Sparta — briefly reclaimed autonomous coinage rights before Spartan hegemony proved equally constraining. The Mavrogordato typology for Chian silver remains the specialist reference of record, with this type sitting in his middle sequence.
