| Reverse description | Frontal cult statue of Artemis Ephesia (Artemis Polymastus) standing en face upon a low base, depicted in the characteristic mummiform pose with multiple breast-like protuberances adorning the torso and lateral supports extending from the arms. A large bee, the civic emblem of Ephesos, appears in the upper left field. The Greek letters Ε and Φ, the city abbreviation for Ephesos, flank the figure in the lower left and lower right fields respectively, with a caduceus-like symbol visible to the lower right. |
