Also from Kamarina, probably 5-7 years later, a so-called litra. In Sicily small coins were called litrae. Their weight is approximately 0.1 gram more than that of the obols of Greece or the East. On this coin a swan swims to the left on the lake of Kamarina. The stylized waves move to the left as does the fish. The swan's wings are widely spread and so wonderfully placed on the coin. The picture radiates so much harmony that no coin comes in comparison with this one. Even when this 0.9 cm miniature coin is enlarged and displayed on a ten meter screen there is no loss in quality. This is the ultimate proof of a true masterpiece. It is hard to fathom today how a die of this small size could be engraved without a magnifying glass. Magnifying glasses and spectacles were only invented at the beginning of the European Renaissance.
