IONIA. Kolophon. Circa 450-410 BC. Drachm (Silver, 15.5 mm, 5.45 g, 1 h). Laureate head of Apollo to right, wearing a beaded necklace. Rev. Six-stringed kithara within a shallow incuse square. Milne, Colophon 20. SNG von Aulock 2000. Traité II, 2, 1897 and pl. CLIII, 6. Weber 5806 (same dies). A splendid example with a fine archaizing head of Apollo, nicely toned. Some minor surface roughness, otherwise, good very fine.

The Apollo heads on the drachms of Kolophon are often, as here, of truly fine style, often reminiscent of those from Leontinoi and Katane.
