Æ18

Kefra was a small mint in Sicily, almost certainly operating under Sikel rather than Greek civic authority during the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC — a period when the island's interior communities were asserting varying degrees of independence between Syracusan expansionism and Carthaginian incursion. The CNS classification places this type among the earliest bronze issues attributable to the site, and the HGC rarity rating for 1252 reflects how thinly these survive across collections.
