| Reverse description | A large bee depicted in close-up frontal view, occupying the central field, its segmented abdomen rendered with fine horizontal striations and prominent wings spread laterally; the design is enclosed within a dotted border circle. The Greek letters Ε and Φ flank the bee to the upper left and upper right respectively, while Π and Ε appear beneath the abdomen, together forming the ethnic abbreviation ΕΦΠΕ for Ephesos. The bold naturalistic rendering of the bee is characteristic of Ephesian coinage and reflects the city's sacred association with Artemis. |
