| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the refined late Classical style characteristic of Ionian mint engravers of the mid-fourth century BC. The hair is elaborately arranged in undulating waves drawn back from the brow and bound by a laurel wreath, with loose locks falling behind the ear onto the neck. The facial features are finely modelled, with a straight profile, almond-shaped eye, and subtly parted lips. No legend appears in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing or galloping to the right, depicted in a vigorous, dynamic pose with forelegs raised and hindquarters lowered, characteristic of fourth-century BC Ionian bronze coinage. The legend ΔIONYΣIOΣ runs along the left and upper periphery of the field, naming the magistrate or issuing authority, while the ethnic abbreviation ΚΟΛ appears in the lower field beneath the horse, identifying the mint city of Kolophon. The coin surface shows an olive-brown patina consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kolophon's bronze coinage of the mid-fourth century was struck during a period of severe political disruption — the city changed hands multiple times between Persian satraps and Macedonian-aligned factions, and local autonomous issues like this one effectively ceased after Alexander's campaigns reorganized the economic architecture of the Ionian coast. The attribution to Milne's corpus remains the standard reference, though his 1941 publication of Kolophonian bronzes continues to invite revision as new hoards emerge from the region.
