| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis Ephesia depicted as the huntress in dynamic motion, striding vigorously to the right with her chlamys billowing dramatically behind her. She extends her left arm forward grasping a bow, while a hunting hound runs at her feet to the right, reinforcing the iconographic association with the chase. The composition reflects the city's deep devotion to Artemis as its patron deity, rendered in the robust provincial style of the Ephesian mint. The reverse legend, distributed across the field, proclaims Ephesus's prestigious status as four-time neocorate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden — four times over, a distinction aggressively pursued through petition to Rome and fiercely advertised on civic coinage. The Δ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend on this issue marks that fourth grant, which the city secured during the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, likely tied to the imperial cult accommodations both emperors were motivated to extend as they scrambled for loyalty across a crumbling eastern frontier. Shapur I's capture of Valerian at the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD effectively ended the co-regency's coherence, making issues attributable to both emperors increasingly difficult to date precisely within the fifteen-year window.
