Reverse description An inscribed agonistic table depicted in three-quarter perspective, its surface bearing inscribed text referencing the games. Atop the table rests an agonistic prize crown with a palm branch to the left, symbolic of athletic victory, and an inscribed wreath to the right. The composition reflects Ephesus's celebrated status as a host city of major Panhellenic festival games. The multi-line Greek legend filling the field and table identifies the specific contests — the Oikoumenikoi, the Ephesia, and the Olympia — and proclaims Ephesus as four-time neocorate and first among all cities.
