| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron goddess of Ephesus, depicted standing to the right in hunting dress, actively grasping a stag by its antlers and pulling the animal's head downward in a dynamic hunting pose. The goddess wears a short chiton and is rendered in a vigorous, energetic stance typical of Ephesian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The divided ethnic legend in the field references Ephesus's prestigious triple neocorate status. The coin surface bears a characteristic green patina consistent with prolonged burial. |
