Dating back between 405-367 BCE, it was minted under the Greek Tyrant Dionysius I (also known as Dionysius the Elder).

He launched a war against Carthage, from 397BCE to 392BCE and forced them from much of Sicily.

His conquest of several cities, from Southern Italy and Sicily, made Syracuse the most powerful of the western Greek colonies during his reign.
