| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long wavy hair falling behind the neck and a prominent laurel wreath crown. The facial features display a youthful idealized profile characteristic of late Classical and early Hellenistic Ionian coinage. The relief is bold and well-modeled, occupying the majority of the flan. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or secondary device on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A horseman galloping vigorously to right, his chlamys billowing behind him in the wind, a spear held in his extended right hand. In the upper left field, a kithara (lyre) serves as a secondary symbol, referencing Apollo's musical domain and reinforcing the deity's presence on the coin's obverse. The ethnic legend ΚΟΛ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Kolophon, while the magistrate's name ΔHΛIANAΞ is inscribed below or beside the rider. The composition reflects the energetic, dynamic style of Ionian bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. |
