| Beschrijving voorzijde | Veiled head of a female divinity, most likely Persephone or a local goddess, facing right, with long flowing hair rendered in fine parallel waves falling behind the neck. A small six-petalled flower or star symbol is visible to the left of the neck in the field. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic Sicilian style, with confident die-cutting and naturalistic facial features typical of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tyndaris was founded in 396 BC by Dionysius I of Syracuse as a settlement for Messenian refugees and loyal Sicilian Greeks, positioning it as a strategic outpost on Sicily's north coast. The city's fortunes were tied closely to Syracuse throughout the third century, making this bronze coinage essentially a satellite issue of the Syracusan monetary sphere during one of the island's most turbulent periods — precisely the decades bracketing the First Punic War, when Roman and Carthaginian armies repeatedly crossed Sicilian territory.
The city fell to Rome around 254 BC, which frames the opening of this type's production window in an occupied or client-state context.
