The legend ΑΓΥΡ appears in Greek characters to the right of the portrait, identifying the issuing city of Agyrion. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of early Sicilian bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Agyrion — modern Agira in central Sicily — was a small Sikel town that only intermittently produced its own coinage, making any surviving bronze from this mint genuinely scarce. This hemilitron dates to a period when Sikel communities were navigating the competing pressures of Syracusan expansion and Carthaginian incursion, with Agyrion occasionally asserting enough independence to strike locally. The historian Diodorus Siculus was himself born at Agyrion, though a generation after these bronzes were current.
