| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing right, the youthful head of Herakles is depicted wearing the characteristic lion's skin headdress, with the scalp and open jaws of the pelt rendered in relief over the hero's crown. The modelling is bold and somewhat compact, consistent with the small module of this Sicilian bronze issue. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kephaloidion — modern Cefalù on Sicily's northern coast — was a Carthaginian-controlled settlement during this period, caught between Punic ambitions and the expanding reach of Syracuse under Timoleon. This small bronze was struck in the years immediately following Timoleon's arrival in Sicily in 344 BC, a campaign that would eventually break Carthaginian dominance over much of the island at the Battle of the Crimissus in 341 BC. Whether Kephaloidion was minting under Punic authority or in a transitional moment of local autonomy remains a point of scholarly debate.
