Obverse description	Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gallienus to right, seen from the rear, the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of the Ephesian mint, with bold, somewhat coarse engraving. A Greek legend encircles the bust, reading from upper left around the field, separated from the portrait by a beaded border.

Reverse description	Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, standing facing with head turned to the right, clad in a long chiton with diplois (double fold), holding a long torch diagonally across her body with both hands. A star appears in the field. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ, identifying the issuing city of the Ephesians, is placed around the figure within a beaded border, rendered in the bold Greek lettering typical of Ionian provincial coinage of the mid-third century.
