| Obverse description | Jugate draped busts of Augustus, laureate, and Livia, diademed, facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic provincial style typical of Ionian civic coinage. Augustus appears in the foreground with his laureate wreath clearly delineated, while Livia's draped effigy is visible behind. The flan is irregular and the field is plain, with no surrounding legend on this side. |

| Reverse description | A stag standing to the right, sacred animal of Artemis of Ephesus, occupies the central field. Above the stag, a quiver is depicted, referencing the cult of Artemis as divine huntress. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic appear in Greek legend above and around the type. The composition reflects the strong association of Ephesus with the worship of Artemis and is consistent with the civic bronze coinage issued under the magistrate Konon. |
