Thebes struck these staters during the height of its regional dominance under Epaminondas, whose revolutionary tactics at Leuctra in 371 BC had shattered Spartan military supremacy. The magistrate name Lykinos appearing on this issue helps anchor it within the Theban federal coinage sequence that Hepworth systematically catalogued. Boiotian federal silver of this period is notoriously difficult to attribute precisely, and the BCD collection sale in 2008 remains the benchmark reference for die studies on these staters.
