Chios maintained its silver coinage with unusual consistency through the fourth century despite the island's shifting political allegiances — oscillating between Persian suzerainty and the Aegean league structures that followed Sparta's collapse after Leuctra in 371 BC. The magistrate name Poseidippo appearing on this issue helps anchor it within a loose chronological sequence, though the exact administrative role of such named officials in Chian minting remains debated among specialists. Mavrogordato's 1916 study of Chian coinage remains the foundational die-linked sequence for attributing these pieces.
