| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Geta to right, viewed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the muscled cuirass rendered in relief. The youthful effigy displays characteristic Severan portrait style with curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs along the border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron goddess of Ephesus, depicted advancing to the right in dynamic stride, her right hand reaching back to draw an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while her left hand grasps the bow. A hound runs at her feet, reflecting the goddess's traditional role as divine huntress. The composition is rendered in the vigorous provincial style characteristic of Ephesian civic coinage, with the civic legend distributed across the field. |
