| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo seated left on an omphalos, nude to the waist, his right arm extended and holding a laurel branch while his left arm rests at his side. The figure is rendered in a compact, vigorous style typical of late 4th-century Ionian bronze coinage. The magistrate's name ΗΓΗΣΙΑΝΑΞ appears in the lower field, with the civic ethnic ΚΟΛ positioned above or to the side of the figure, identifying the issuing city of Kolophon. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination with areas of active cuprite and malachite encrustations. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kolophon's bronze coinage of this period was issued under magistrate names — Hegesianax being one of the officials responsible for authorizing the city's autonomous bronze production during a stretch when Ionia was passing between Macedonian successors following Alexander's death. The city itself was in demographic crisis: Lysimachos forcibly relocated much of Kolophon's population to his newly founded Ephesos around 294 BC, effectively ending the old city as a functioning civic center.
That resettlement gives this issue a hard terminus in practical terms.
