背面描述	Plain field bearing two raised pellets arranged side by side in the upper portion of the flan, serving as the denominational mark signifying the hexas (one-sixth of a litra, equivalent to two onkiai). The pellets are boldly struck and slightly off-center, set against an otherwise unadorned, flat reverse surface with no legend or border. This minimalist reverse type is characteristic of the fractional silver coinage of Himera during the fifth century BC.

附加信息	Himera's destruction by Carthage in 409 BC gives this tiny fractional coin a hard terminal date — the city was razed and never recoined. The mint had already suffered once, surviving the Carthaginian assault of 480 BC only because Gelon of Syracuse crushed Hamilcar's forces at the Battle of Himera that same year, reportedly on the very day of Salamis.
