| Obverse description | Jugate busts of Augustus, laureate, and Livia, draped, facing right in high relief, with Augustus in the foreground and Livia partially visible behind. The effigies are rendered in the idealized Augustan portrait style typical of provincial civic coinage from Asia Minor. The flan is slightly irregular, with the busts occupying the central field. No legend is present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A stag standing right in the central field, rendered in profile with fine detail, serving as the principal cult symbol of Artemis of Ephesus. A quiver appears above the stag, reinforcing the Artemisian iconographic program. The Greek legend is distributed around the field in multiple lines, naming the grammateus Aristion and the magistrate Meliton as responsible civic officials. The composition is characteristic of Ephesian civic bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |
