Æ

Kefra remains one of the less-documented Punic Sicilian mints, operating during a period when Carthaginian influence over western Sicily was consolidating after the destruction of Selinus and Himera in 409 BC. Bronze coinage of this type was produced for local exchange in a region where Greek silver dominated longer-distance trade, leaving these issues to circulate within a narrow geographic and economic orbit.

CNS 9 is among the scarcer bronzes attributed to this mint in the Corpus Nummorum Siculorum sequence.
