| Additional information |
Chalkis lost effective autonomy following Macedon's victory at Chaironeia in 338 BC, the same engagement that ended the independence of most Greek poleis south of Thessaly. The city's continued silver coinage through this period reflects a retained — if constrained — civic minting privilege under Macedonian oversight, a concession not uniformly extended across conquered territories.
The Bement reference places this piece within the celebrated collection dispersed by the American Numismatic Society sale of 1924, long a benchmark for Euboian series attribution.
