| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of mid-third century Asia Minor coinage. The emperor's effigy displays the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and segmented cuirass. The encircling legend reads ΑΥΤ Κ ΠΟ ΛΙΚ ΓΑΛΛΙΗΝΟϹ in Greek majuscules, identifying the ruler as Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Gallienus. The die work is characteristic of the Ephesian mint under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis, patroness deity of Ephesus, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, clad in a long chiton with diplois. A crescent ornament rests upon her shoulders, a prominent iconographic attribute associating her with the lunar sphere. She holds a long torch diagonally across her body with both hands. The reverse legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ ΑΡΤΕΜΙϹ, inscribed in Greek majuscules within the field, proclaims this as the Artemis of the Ephesians, reflecting the city's enduring religious identity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus retained the right to strike civic bronze well into the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, a privilege jealously guarded by the city and tied directly to its status as the assize center of its conventus — the Roman judicial circuit that brought administrators, merchants, and disputes from across western Asia Minor into the city each year. The mint was active but not prolific under this pairing, and the surviving volume of types suggests short, purpose-driven production runs rather than continuous output.
Valerian's capture by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD effectively ended the joint reign as it had functioned. Civic issues attributable strictly to the post-260 years become difficult to distinguish without explicit titulature.
