| Reverse description | A wolf advancing to the right, rendered in a lively, naturalistic style and personifying the river Lykos, upon whose banks Colossae was situated. The animal is depicted in full stride across the field, with a ground line beneath. The ethnic legend of the city arcs around the upper periphery of the coin in Greek characters. The type reflects the civic pride of Colossae in its geographical identity and its association with the river deity. |
