| 正面描述 | Bee depicted in frontal view, rendered schematically with outstretched wings to either side, segmented body at centre, and two prominent eyes visible at the top of the thorax. The design fills the flan almost entirely, characteristic of the archaic Ephesian coinage style. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| 背面描述 | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four recessed triangular sections by a raised cross, the result of a four-pronged punch applied during striking. The incuse is irregular in outline, consistent with archaic hammered technique. No inscription or additional device is present. |

Ephesos was among the earliest Greek cities to adopt coinage, likely drawing on its position as a major Aegean trading hub and its proximity to Lydian minting traditions. The hemiobol — a fraction so small it was sometimes swallowed by merchants for safekeeping — represents the granular end of a monetary system built around the electrum stater. Switching to silver fractions allowed Ephesos to transact at a scale electrum's high value made impractical.
Rosen 572 places this piece within a tightly argued sequence of early Ephesian fractional silver, distinguished by die linkages rather than visible typological leaps.
