| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and gathered at the nape, wearing a diadem and imperial drapery over the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Ephesian mint under Philip I. The Greek legend encircles the bust, reading from left to right around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Artemis Ephesia standing in a biga drawn by two galloping stags to the right, her figure shown in dynamic motion. The goddess reaches back with her right hand to draw an arrow from the quiver slung at her shoulder, while her left hand holds the bow. The composition emphasizes the cult's hunting aspect and the civic pride of Ephesus in its patron deity. The Greek legend ΕΦΕϹΙΑ ΑΡΤΕΜΙϹ appears in the field, identifying the Ephesian Artemis. |
