| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with detailed hair swept back beneath a wreath of laurel leaves. The facial features are well modelled with a strong profile, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips characteristic of late Classical Ionian die-cutting. The neck is bare and the bust truncated at the lower edge of the flan. The field is otherwise plain. |

| Reverse description | Armoured horseman galloping to the right, holding a long spear or lance diagonally across the body with the right arm extended. A lyre or kithara appears in the left field, serving as a civic symbol of Apollo-worshipping Kolophon. The ethnic legend ΚΟΛ is inscribed in the upper field, while the magistrate's name ΠΑΝΤΑΓΝΩΤΟΣ is rendered in the exergue in Greek characters. The composition reflects the vigorous equestrian type common to Ionian civic bronzes of the late fourth and early third century BC. |
