| Obverse description | A finely rendered bee depicted in full-face view, displayed with wings spread horizontally and slightly downward in a heraldic manner, occupying the central field. The bee's segmented abdomen, thorax, and head are rendered in high relief with careful anatomical detail, including visible leg appendages. The abbreviated ethnic legend E – Φ (for EΦEΣION, denoting Ephesos) flanks the bee, with E to the left and Φ to the right. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The style is characteristic of the accomplished die engravers of fourth-century Ephesos. |
