| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΝΤΩ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus) |
| Reverse description | Artemis, goddess of the hunt, strides dynamically to the right in an advancing pose, her right hand raised to draw an arrow from the quiver slung over her shoulder while her left hand holds her bow. At her feet, a hound runs to the right, reinforcing the hunting iconography characteristic of the cult of Artemis at Nysa. The composition is rendered in the energetic, provincial Hellenistic style typical of Lydian civic bronzes of the Severan and Gordian periods. The reverse legend naming the grammateus Aurelius Diodotos frames the scene, identifying the civic magistrate responsible for the issue. |
