| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena standing left in full figure, clad in a peplos and aegis, holding a long spear vertically in her right hand and resting her left hand on a large round shield set on the ground beside her. The goddess is depicted in a composed, frontal stance with her head turned slightly to the left. The reverse legend, naming the strategos Onesimos and the civic ethnicon of the Colophonians, runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The style and module are consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Colophon under the Conventus of Ephesus during the reign of Gordian III. |

Colophon's civic coinage under Gordian III was issued through the authority of a local magistrate — the strategosOnēsimos named in the legend — whose office carried responsibility for overseeing the mint and whose name appearing on the coin was as much a mark of civic prestige as administrative record. By the Severan and post-Severan periods, such magistrate-signed bronzes from the Ionian cities had become intensely competitive affairs, with local councils vying to produce impressive issues that reflected well on the officeholder. Colophon, though long past its classical glory, maintained active bronze production into the mid-third century.
The VII.1#351A reference places this among the rarer documented varieties for the city's Gordian-era output.
