| Additional information |
Chalkis lost its autonomy after the Battle of Chaironeia in 338 BC, when Macedonian garrisons were installed across Euboia. This tiny fraction was struck during the decades of that occupation, a period when the city retained nominal civic coinage rights even as Philip II and then Alexander effectively controlled the region. The BCD specimen catalogued under #134 represents one of the more carefully documented examples of what is otherwise a poorly understood fractional series.
