| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bearded male head in left profile, identified as the river-god Hipparis, patron deity of the Kamarinian territory. The head is rendered with fine detail, featuring a full, wavy beard and abundant hair swept back, consistent with the convention for depicting river gods on Sicilian coinage. A dotted border frames the design. The inscription ΚΑΜΑΡΙΝΑΙΟΝ appears partially visible at the lower margin of the field, identifying the issuing community. The style reflects the influence of the great Sicilian die-engravers of the late fifth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kamarina was destroyed twice — by Syracuse in 552 BC and again in 405 BC, when the Carthaginians razed it so thoroughly that the site was effectively abandoned for generations. The tetradrachms of this final minting period, roughly the last two decades before that destruction, represent the complete output of a city that knew it was living on borrowed time. Production almost certainly ceased before the Carthaginian siege rather than during it.
Westermark and Jenkins remain the definitive die study for Kamarina's silver coinage, and the clustering of the references here — Lloyd, Gulbenkian, McClean — suggests this is among the more frequently cited types in the series, not a rarity by die count.
