| Reverse description | A prize crown (agonistic crown) depicted in the central field, the type emblematic of Ephesus's celebrated sacred games and its status as the leading city of the Asian conventus. The crown, typical of those awarded at the great Ephesian festivals, is rendered in relief against a plain field. The surrounding Greek legend proudly proclaims Ephesus's primacy among the cities of Asia. The surface is heavily encrusted with green and brown patina, partially obscuring fine details of the crown's ornamentation. |
