| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Empress Salonina facing right, set upon a crescent, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Ephesian mint. The effigy shows the empress with an elaborate coiffure beneath the diadem, wearing drapery over the shoulder. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | Artemis depicted as huntress in energetic motion, striding or running to the right, her billowing drapery animated behind her. She holds a bow extended before her, and a hound is shown at her feet, alluding to the chase. The composition reflects the close cultic association of Ephesus with Artemis, patron deity of the city, with the encircling legend proclaiming the city's prestigious neocorate status. |
