Kraay (The Bronze Coinage of Himera and 'Himera' in Annali dell'Istituto Italano di Numismatica Sup. to volume 25, Naples 1979), discusses the chronology of this series in conjunction with the similar coinage of Himera (see example in this sale) and places the issue in the last decade of the 5th century. He lists the weight of 26 examples in public and private collections, probably about 50 examples survive today.
