| Beschrijving keerzijde | The philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus shown standing to the left in a full-length figure, his left hand grasping a club while his right arm is raised, a pose befitting the city's association with the celebrated pre-Socratic thinker. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the field, proclaiming Ephesus's prestigious status as a thrice-neocorate city. The design reflects the civic pride and intellectual heritage of Ephesus as one of the foremost metropoleis of the Roman province of Asia. |

Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden — multiple times over, and the Γ (gamma) designation marks this as a third-time grant, a distinction the city pursued aggressively through political lobbying in Rome. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, father and son ruling simultaneously as co-emperors from 253, gave provincial mints an unusual administrative reason to name both emperors on a single issue. Valerian's capture by the Sasanian king Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 effectively ended joint issues from the eastern provincials.
