Sicily. Kamarina. AR Tetradrachm, c. 425-405 BC. SNG Cop. 162 (same rev. die); SNG Lloyd 867 (same rev. die); Cf. Jenkins R10. AR. 16.22 g. 28.00 mm. Traces of cleaning and tooling, but very eye appealing with a nice portrait and a bold reverse. VF. The minting of these impressive tetradrachms, the finest series struck, lasted only until 405 BC, as the mint ceased operations when the city’s inhabitants were evacuated to Syracuse before the destruction of the city due to the Carthaginians.
