<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2320309, member: 42773&quot;]Plugging away at a few more coins today. This is a hemilitron of Himera, Sicily, 420-409 BC. Himera (Termini), on the north coast of Sicily, was an ancient Chalcidic colony from Zancle, founded in the middle of the seventh century BC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a rare type, but it was primarily a utilitarian coin, hastily struck for use as small change, so it&#039;s tough in better grades. The minter of this coin was kind enough to line up the flan properly and give it a really good whack, so that I could find it in New York 2400 years later and go, &quot;Ooh... that&#039;s a nice one.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Head of nymph right, 6 pellets in wreath. The reverse has great centering - you&#039;ve got all the leaves in the wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468830[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
