| Reverse description | A large scallop shell depicted with the hinge uppermost and the valves splayed downward, rendered with careful ribbing to convey the natural form of the shell. Four pellets, disposed in a loose arrangement in the upper field, serve as the mark of value indicating the trias (one-quarter litra). The composition is set within a plain, unbordered field, with no inscription, consistent with the emergency bronze coinage struck at Himera in its final years before the city's destruction by Carthage in 409 BC. |
