| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis, veiled and in long chiton, stands facing with head slightly turned, extending a patera in her right hand and holding a bow in her left; at her feet to the lower left, a stag recumbent. The composition reflects the city's deep religious connection to Artemis as patron deity of Miletus and its celebrated temple at Didyma. The encircling Greek legend proclaims Miletus's neocorate status, a mark of civic prestige awarded for the maintenance of an imperial cult temple. The figure's frontal stance and the accompanying stag are standard iconographic attributes of the Milesian Artemis type on provincial coinage. |

Pupienus and Balbinus reigned together for roughly three months in 238 AD — the same chaotic year that saw five emperors. The Senate elevated both men simultaneously as a calculated compromise, an unprecedented joint rule designed to counter the threat of Maximinus Thrax. Miletus struck this issue to mark that arrangement, incorporating the ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ title that advertised the city's status as an imperially-recognized temple warden — a privilege Miletus held for the imperial cult and one it consistently deployed on civic bronzes to reinforce its standing among Ionian cities.
