| Beschrijving keerzijde | A galley with four oarsmen proceeding to the right occupies the central field, the oars depicted in motion beneath the hull. The vessel, rendered in the conventional provincial style, alludes to Ephesus's status as a prominent maritime city and principal port of the Conventus Ephesi. The abbreviated civic legend appears in the upper field above the galley. The type reflects Ephesus's pride in its designation as the first city of Asia, a title regularly celebrated on its civic bronze coinage under Gordian III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title *neokoros* — temple warden — multiple times over, a distinction granted by Rome that the city pursued aggressively and advertised obsessively on its civic coinage. Under Gordian III the mint was prolific, producing issues across multiple denominations for both the emperor and members of his family. The Α ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ legend places this piece within the first of the city's six voting tribes, a civic subdivision used to organize and distinguish coin series rather than to indicate any separate mint facility.
