| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nude male youth seated astride a goat striding left, his body rendered in archaic relief typical of late fifth-century Sicilian bronze coinage. The rider holds a whip raised in his right hand and a conch shell in his left. The coin is framed by a border of raised dots. Three pellets are arranged in the exergue below the goat, serving as value marks denoting the tetras denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Himera's coinage in bronze begins relatively late compared to other Sicilian mints, and the tetras — worth three onkiai — belongs to a civic output that was abruptly and permanently ended in 409 BC when the Carthaginian general Hannibal Mago razed the city in revenge for his grandfather Hamilcar's death at the Battle of Himera in 480 BC. The destruction was total. No further coins were struck at Himera after that date because there was no Himera left to strike them.
