| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare female head facing right, rendered in a broad, somewhat archaic style characteristic of Siceliot bronze coinage of the late fourth century BC. The facial features are summarily modeled, with a pronounced brow, large eye, and softly defined chin. The hair appears loosely arranged, falling behind the neck. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular and slightly convex. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kimissa was a small inland Sikel settlement in western Sicily whose independent coinage output was extremely limited, placing it among the most obscure civic mints on the island. This bronze issue falls within a period when Syracuse under Agathokles was aggressively consolidating control across Sicily, pressuring smaller communities either into alliance or extinction. The mint did not survive long into the fourth century.
CNAI 3 records only a handful of specimens, and die links across known examples suggest a single brief emission rather than sustained production.
