| Reverse description | Full-length frontal cult statue of Artemis Ephesia standing erect at center, depicted in the canonical xoanon type without lateral supports, her arms extended forward in the characteristic pose. The figure is rendered with the distinctive multi-breasted torso and tightly sheathed lower body ornamented with relief decoration typical of the Ephesian goddess. The divided ethnic legend Α-ΒΥ flanks the statue in the field, referencing the issuing city of Abydus. The composition follows well-established conventions for the Artemis Ephesia type on coins of Asia Minor. |
