Ancient Greek era Himera, Sicily 430-420 B.C.E MEDUSA, Bronze Hexonkion

Item Details

Description

Title: Ancient Greek era Himera, Sicily 430-420 B.C.E MEDUSA, Bronze Hexonkion

Date/Period: 430-420 B.C.E.

Materials: Bronze Hexonkion

Size: 27 mm

Description: From the Ancient Greek era, specifically from Himera in Sicily, this bronze Hexonkion was minted between 430 and 420 B.C.E. The coin, which weighs 16.3 grams and measures 27 mm in diameter, is a notable artifact from this period of Greek history. The obverse of the coin prominently features the head of the Gorgon Medusa, a mythological figure known for her hair of living snakes and the ability to turn onlookers into stone. This depiction of Medusa is emblematic of the fascination and reverence for mythological figures in Ancient Greek culture, serving not only as a protective symbol but also as a mark of the city's identity. On the reverse, the coin displays six dots, a simple yet effective way of signifying its denomination as a Hexonkion, which correlates to the coin's value within the monetary system of ancient Himera. This coin is in Near VF (Very Fine) condition, indicating that it has been well-preserved and its authenticity is guaranteed.
