Æ - Erasinides

Kolophon's autonomous bronze coinage of this period was struck in the decades following Alexander's campaign through Ionia, when the city retained enough independence to issue civic coin under named magistrates — Erasinides being one of a small group attested on bronzes of this type. The magistrate's name functions as a guarantee of issue, a practice rooted in Greek civic accountability rather than royal authority.

Milne's 1941 monograph on Kolophon remains the primary reference, and specimens attributable to specific magistrates within that window are infrequently encountered outside institutional collections.
