| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of a female divinity, turned very slightly to the left, rendered in the archaic-to-transitional Sicilian style. The hair is arranged in loose, wavy locks radiating around the face and bound with a tainia (fillet). The modeling of the features — large almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and broad nose — reflects the bold, almost frontal portraiture characteristic of late fifth-century Sicilian bronze coinage. The field is plain, with no legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Himera's final years of coin production — abruptly ended when the Carthaginian general Hannibal Mago sacked and razed the city in 409 BC in revenge for the Sicilian defeat of 480 BC — make any issue from this terminal window historically significant by default. The destruction was total; the city was never reoccupied as a Greek polis. These small bronzes represent the last municipal coinage struck before one of the most thoroughly documented acts of punitive urban annihilation in ancient Sicily.
