| Reverse description | A horseman galloping vigorously to the right, his chlamys billowing behind him, brandishing a spear in his raised right hand. The horse is depicted in full stride with dynamic energy, consistent with Hellenistic military iconography. In the upper left field, a kithara (lyre) serves as a secondary symbol, alluding to Apollo's patronage of music. The Greek ethnic ΚΟΛ appears in the field alongside the magistrate's name ΑΡΙΣΤΟΦΑΝΗΣ, identifying both the issuing city of Kolophon and the responsible official. |
