| Aversbeschreibung | Bearded head of Zeus Ammon facing left, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Kyrenaican coinage. The deity's distinctive attribute, a curved ram's horn, curls prominently around and behind the ear. The hair and beard are rendered in flowing, striated locks, filling the flan with an energetic, almost impressionistic quality. The compact flan and irregular outline are typical of this fractional hammered gold issue. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Magas served as governor of Kyrene under his half-brother Ptolemy I before declaring independence around 276 BC, and coins issued under his authority straddle that political rupture — making the attribution of any specific piece to the governor phase versus the independent king phase genuinely contested. Kyrene's gold fractional coinage drew on the city's extraordinary wealth from the silphium monopoly, a plant so commercially dominant that it appeared on the city's coinage for generations and was reportedly harvested to extinction by the Roman period.
At 0.69g, these pieces were struck to the Ptolemaic weight standard, a deliberate alignment with Alexandrian monetary practice during the dependency years.
