| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis, the huntress goddess, depicted standing to the right in a dynamic pose, her right hand reaching back to draw an arrow from the quiver positioned at her shoulder, while her left hand holds the bow. At her feet, a hound strides briskly to the right, a hallmark iconographic companion of the goddess in Mysian provincial coinage. The composition fills the reverse field with vigor, reflecting the local cult veneration of Artemis at Miletopolis. The encircling magistrate legend names the strategos responsible for the issue. |

Miletopolis was a minor Mysian city with no imperial mint of its own — its bronzes, like this one, were produced under civic authority during the brief window when Gordian III's reign offered political stability after the chaos of 238 AD, the so-called Year of the Six Emperors. The magistrate named in the legend, Aurelius Hermos, is attested in only a handful of die pairings, suggesting a tightly circumscribed civic issue rather than sustained production.
The conventus of Cyzicus administered considerable regional coinage authority, and Miletopolitan issues from this period are notably scarce in collections outside major European institutions.
