Beschrijving voorzijde Facing head of Apollo, rendered in the Archaic style, wearing a pearl diadem across the brow. Long locks of hair fall in beaded tresses on either side of the face, flanking the cheeks symmetrically. The facial features display the characteristic Archaic frontality, with almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and a composed expression. The effigy is boldly modelled in high relief, filling the flan, with no surrounding legend or border.

Beschrijving keerzijde Deep square incuse punch divided into four recessed quadrants by a raised cross, forming the characteristic early Archaic mill-sail or quadripartite pattern. The incuse is sharply defined with a raised outer border framing the depression. The surface within each quadrant shows irregular tooling marks consistent with early hammered coinage technique. No inscription or additional device is present.

Aanvullende informatie

Kolophon was among the earliest Greek cities to adopt coinage, and its archaic silver issues predate the standardized types of many better-documented mints. The Jameson collection reference places this firmly within a small, well-studied group, though attribution of early Kolophonian fractions remains contentious — the city's output from this period is poorly documented in ancient literary sources, leaving die study as the primary tool for sequencing.
