| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Classical Greek style with carefully detailed wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath. The effigy is set centrally within the flan, filling the field with a naturalistic, high-relief portrait characteristic of Ionian civic coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. The facial features are well-preserved, displaying the idealized proportions typical of the period. No inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing to the right, depicted with raised forelegs and a flowing mane, rendered in a bold and lively style characteristic of Classical Ionian bronze coinage. The Greek legend ΛEΩΔAMAΣ is inscribed along the left field, identifying the magistrate Leodamas, while the ethnic abbreviation ΚΟΛ appears below the horse in the lower field, denoting the issuing city of Kolophon. The composition is compact but energetic, with the horse filling the majority of the flan. |
