Daehn 3024. Kroh p. 20, “The popular classical silver coinage of Himera has been the focus of quite a few Italian numismatists but only one article attempts to be a corpus of issues… 20 varieties of tetradrachms (with 9 obverses and 3 reverse dies) are classified and the locations of all known specimens (at that time) are documented. Originals of this are very rare.”
