| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, the portrait rendered in the vigorous provincial style characteristic of the Ephesian mint. The emperor is depicted with youthful features beneath a laurel wreath, with drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the effigy in the field, reading from left to right around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, patron deity of Ephesus, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, her right hand raised to draw an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while her left hand holds a bow. The goddess is rendered in the traditional huntress stance associated with Ephesian civic coinage, reflecting the city's deep religious devotion to Artemis. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, proclaims Ephesus's prestigious status as a twice-neocorate city. |
