| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis, patron goddess of Miletus, depicted standing to the left in a long belted chiton, her figure rendered in the classical tradition. She extends her right hand forward, offering a patera, while her left hand holds an arrow and bow. At her feet to the left, a stag is shown reclining and looking back to the right, serving as the goddess's sacred animal attribute. The encircling legend names the issuing city and the presiding magistrate Rheginos, framing the reverse type within a plain border. |

Miletus had long since lost its classical glory by Hadrian's reign — the harbor had silted up catastrophically, the city's commercial dominance over the Aegean was a distant memory, and the metropolis that once produced Thales and Anaximander was functionally a Roman provincial backwater. The magistrate name ΡΗΓΙΝΟΥ (Reginus) appearing on this issue places it within a locally administered bronze coinage typical of the conventus system, where Greek cities retained nominal civic autonomy under Roman supervision, including the right to strike small bronze for local exchange.
Hadrian visited the region twice, with his tours of Asia Minor in 124 and 129 AD prompting civic bronze issues across dozens of cities eager to commemorate the emperor's presence.
