| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Artemis facing right, her hair drawn back into a ponytail and secured with a diadem, with loose wavy tresses falling along the neck. The effigy is rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Ephesian civic coinage, with fine facial features and a graceful profile. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Protome of a kneeling stag to the right, head turned back to the left, a canonical symbol of the city of Ephesos and its patron deity Artemis. In the left field, the magistrate's name ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ is inscribed, flanked by the civic letters E (to the left) and Φ (to the right of the stag), together forming the ethnic abbreviation EΦ for Ephesos. The composition is compact and typical of late Hellenistic Ephesian bronze issues attributed to named magistrates. |
