| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long, flowing locks of hair falling behind the neck. The laurel wreath is depicted with clearly articulated leaves resting across the brow. The portrait is modelled with confident, sculptural relief characteristic of late fourth-century Ionian coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered bronzes of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Warrior on horseback galloping to the right, depicted in a dynamic composition with a cloak billowing behind him and a couched lance held forward in the attack position. The horse is rendered with vigorous energy, its legs fully extended in a full gallop. The ethnic inscription ΚΟΛ appears in the upper left field, while the magistrate's name ΙΚΕΣΙΟΥ is inscribed in the lower exergual area. The overall style reflects the energetic die-cutting traditions of Ionian civic bronzes of the early Hellenistic period. |

Kolophon's autonomous bronze coinage of this period was struck in the decades following Alexander's campaigns through Ionia, when the city navigated shifting allegiances between Macedonian successors. The magistrate name Hikesios appears on a small subset of issues within this series — individual magistrates rotated through what was likely an eponymous or liturgical civic office, making each name a chronological anchor point for the sequence Milne and Kinns worked to reconstruct.
Kinns's 1980 study remains the definitive die analysis for this coinage, identifying 103 as a relatively scarce pairing within the broader issue.
