GREEK, SICILY, HIMERA, AE Hemilitron
440-404 BC
3.62 – grams
Obv.: Head of nymph Himera left, wearing sphendone, six dots/pellets before face
Rev.: 6 pellets within laurel-wreath
Sear 1110

I was overjoyed to get this specimen.  What pleases me about this coin is the extreme sharpness of its details.  On the obverse the hair detail is bold and complete while on the reverse the veins in the leaves are bold and jump out at you.  The boldness of these very fine details just points out the sharpness of the strike.  In addition the both sides are well centered with no missing details.
