| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crab, the civic emblem of Kos, depicted frontally in the centre of the field with claws extended symmetrically to either side and legs spread wide, rendered in fine detail. The design is framed by a rectangular border of dots enclosing the main device. Above the crab, the ethnic legend ΚΩΙΟΝ is inscribed, and below, the magistrate's name ΔΑΜΟΞΕΝΟΣ appears, both in archaic Greek characters. A horizontal bar or exergual line separates the crab from the lower inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kos operated under Ptolemaic influence through much of this period, and the island's coinage reflects a mint navigating carefully between Aegean commercial networks and Egyptian political oversight. The Damoxenos issues are magistrate-signed coins — the name denoting the responsible official rather than an artist — a practice that makes die-linked sequences across the series traceable with unusual precision. Variants recorded in the Weber and Lockett collections differ primarily in the arrangement of subsidiary symbols, suggesting multiple working dies cut across a relatively short production window.
