| Beschrijving keerzijde | The xoanon-style cult statue of Artemis Ephesia stands facing frontally in the centre of the field, depicted in the canonical manner with her body tightly swathed in a kalathos-adorned polos crown, her arms extended horizontally and her torso adorned with the characteristic multiple rows of oval protuberances. A stag stands on each side of the goddess, flanking her symmetrically, emphasising her role as Potnia Theron, Mistress of Animals. The ethnic legend of the Hierapoleitans is distributed around the field in Greek characters. |

Hierapolis sat atop one of the ancient world's most spectacular geological anomalies — the calcium-rich thermal springs that built the white travertine terraces still visible today. The city's civic coinage under Philip I reflects a municipality flush with religious and commercial traffic, the sanctuary of Apollo Lairbenos drawing pilgrims and the road network through Phrygia funneling trade. Provincial bronze of this weight and module from Hierapolis is not uncommon, but the city ceased issuing civic coinage shortly after Philip's reign ended in 249, making this among the final generations of its independent mint output.
