| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Annia Faustina facing right, her hair arranged in waves and drawn up at the back in characteristic Severan court fashion. The effigy is rendered in the prevailing provincial style, with visible drapery folds over the shoulder. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait, reading ΑΝΝΙΑ ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒ, identifying the empress by name and honorific title Augusta. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the principal deity of Ephesus, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right. In her left hand she holds a bow, while her right hand reaches back to draw an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder. A stag, sacred animal of Artemis, stands to the left behind the goddess. The reverse legend encircling the type proudly proclaims the city's four-fold neocorate status, a mark of exceptional imperial cult prestige. |
