| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, standing facing right in the field, her figure rendered in dynamic pose as she grasps and pulls down a stag by its antlers. The stag is depicted with head lowered beneath the goddess's grip, evoking the huntress aspect of Artemis. The scene is enclosed by a beaded border, with the civic legend distributed around the periphery and additional letters visible in the lower exergual area, referencing Ephesus's prestigious triple neocorate status. |
