| Obverse description | Bee depicted in high relief, facing, with rounded thorax and abdomen prominently rendered in the center of the flan. The wings are spread horizontally to either side in a stylized manner, with visible segmentation. The legs are discernible flanking the body. The design is characteristic of the archaic Ephesian coinage for which the bee served as the principal civic emblem, rendered in a bold and compact artistic style typical of the late 6th century BC. |
