Comment
SNG Kayhan 306Interesting fact
The Eupolis coin is a rare example of a coin that features a portrait of a woman, which was uncommon in ancient Greek coinage. The woman depicted on the coin is believed to be a representation of the goddess Artemis, who was revered in Ephesos. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and religious values of the ancient Greek city-state of Ephesos during the Hellenistic period.
