| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, rendered in three-quarter front view, with the effigy displaying characteristic military attire including segmented cuirass with pteryges visible at the shoulder. The portrait is encircled by a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend distributed around the periphery of the field. The engraving style is consistent with the provincial workshop traditions of Ephesus, exhibiting bold relief typical of Asiatic issues of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus ruled for just over a year before being overthrown by partisans of the young Elagabalus in June 218 AD — making any civic bronze struck in his name a product of an exceptionally compressed window. Ephesus, holding the title ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΑϹΙΑϹ ("first of Asia"), leveraged imperial portraiture aggressively during transitions of power, issuing bronzes quickly to demonstrate civic loyalty to whichever emperor held the throne.
The rarity of Macrinus provincial issues owes less to low mintage than to the damnatio memoriae sentiment that followed his defeat — many were likely melted or discarded.
