| Obverse description | Facing view of a bee rendered in high relief, with outstretched straight wings displayed symmetrically, a clearly segmented abdomen, and a rounded thorax and head. The bee is centrally positioned within a beaded border, with the Greek letters epsilon (E) to the left and phi (Φ) to the right of the creature, representing the abbreviation of the city name Ephesos. The naturalistic depiction is executed with fine artistic precision characteristic of the Ephesian mint during the classical period. |
