| Reverse description | Artemis, the tutelary deity of Ephesus, depicted in hunting attire and riding upon a stag bounding to the right, her figure shown in profile. The goddess is portrayed with her characteristic quiver at her back, consistent with her role as divine huntress and patroness of the city. The composition emphasises the close civic and religious identity of Ephesus with Artemis, a recurring motif on the city's provincial coinage. A Greek legend encircles the field, proclaiming Ephesus as first among the cities of Asia. The surfaces show extensive green patination with moderate wear to the high points of the design. |
