Comment
Kraay Group Va, 126 (O82/R73).Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Himera (Sicily) made of Silver weighing 5.79 g is interesting because it features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous Sicilian elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side features a Sicilian triskelion, a symbol of the island's indigenous people. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred in Sicily during this time period.
