| Beschrijving keerzijde | Forepart of a horse prancing to the right, rendered in vigorous relief with raised forelegs and a mane delineated by fine engraved lines. The magistrate's name ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΔΩΡΟΣ appears in Greek characters along the left field, while the ethnic abbreviation ΚΟΛ is placed in the lower field or exergue, identifying the issuing city of Kolophon. The compact, energetic depiction of the horse prototype is characteristic of the bronze coinage of Kolophon during the mid-4th century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kolophon's bronze issues of this period were struck under magistrate authority, with the magistrate's name — here Dionysodoros — appearing as a guarantor of value rather than a political statement. The city had already lost significant autonomy to Persian satrapal control before Alexander's arrival reshuffled the entire Aegean order, and these small bronzes circulated through a port economy that traded heavily in wine, wool, and the prized saffron-colored dye the region produced.
Milne's corpus remains the foundational reference for Kolophonian bronzes, though Copenhagen 150–151 and the Kinns study offer useful die-linkage data that suggests this magistrate's issues were struck across multiple obverse dies — meaning output was not negligible for so small a city.
