| Reverse description | A stag standing to the right, rendered in the traditional Ephesian iconographic style closely associated with the cult of Artemis. Two taeniae (ritual fillets or bands) are depicted before the animal in the left field. The magistrates' names ΦΙΛΩΝ ΤΡΥΦΩΝΑΣ are inscribed in the field, identifying the two local officials responsible for the issue. The design reflects the deeply rooted religious and civic traditions of Ephesus during the Augustan era. |

| Additional information |
Ephesus was the seat of the Roman proconsular conventus for Asia, and civic bronzes issued there under Augustus frequently name local magistrates — here Philon and Tryphon, almost certainly serving as the annual grammateus or a paired magistracy responsible for authorizing the issue. These men are otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record, which is the norm rather than the exception for minor officials of the Augustan provinces.
