| Additional information |
Kolophon's bronze fractional coinage of the late fourth and early third centuries BC was tied directly to the city's precarious position between Macedonian and later Lysimachean control — the mint was effectively operating under overlord approval, producing small-denomination bronzes to keep local commerce functional while silver coinage remained under tighter political oversight. The city would fall definitively under Seleucid influence by the 280s BC, making issues from around 300 BC among the last struck with meaningful civic autonomy.
