| Aversbeschreibung | Draped bust of a youthful deity facing right, hair elaborately arranged and adorned with a laurel wreath, a tendril or floral spray visible at the neck. The legend ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ (Homonoia, meaning Concord) runs along the right field in Greek characters. The style is characteristic of late Classical Sicilian engraving, with fine modelling of facial features and hair. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered issues of this period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A rectangular sacrificial altar or table depicted in three-quarter perspective, adorned with a garland or laurel branch along its front face. Atop the altar, a small cult object or flame is visible flanked by foliage. Laurel branches flank the altar on either side. The ethnic legend ΚΙΜΙΣΣ ΑΙΩΝ is distributed around the device in Greek characters, identifying the issuing community of Kimissa. The engraving is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the hammered technique of Sicilian civic coinage of the late 4th century BC. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Kimissa was a minor city in ancient Thrace whose coinage output was extremely limited, placing this hemidrachm among the rarer civic issues of the northern Aegean region. The dating — roughly 339 to 336 BC — places production squarely within the period of Philip II of Macedon's aggressive consolidation of Thrace, culminating in his campaigns that effectively ended meaningful autonomy for many communities in the region. Whether Kimissa ceased minting due to Macedonian absorption or simple economic collapse is unresolved in the scholarship.
