| Additional information |
Ephesos in this period was caught between Ptolemaic and Seleucid ambitions — the city changed hands multiple times during the Syrian Wars, and small bronze fractional issues like this one kept local markets functioning when larger silver coinage was being hoarded or drained by tribute demands. The hemiobol denomination in copper is essentially a fiduciary token, its face value backed by civic authority rather than metal content.
