| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with elaborately striated hair swept back from the forehead. The quiver strap is visible over her right shoulder, and the tip of a bow projects behind. The portrait occupies the full coin field with no visible legend, the goddess depicted with delicate facial features characteristic of late Hellenistic civic coinage from Ionia. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stag strides or grazes right, depicted in profile with naturalistic modelling, positioned atop a prominent maeander (meander) pattern border that runs across the central field — the civic symbol of Magnesia ad Meandrum. A Greek inscription in two lines below the maeander pattern identifies the magistrate: ΠΑΥΣΑΝΙΑΣ / ΜΗΤΡΟΔΩΡΟΥ (Pausanias, son of Metrodoros). A further abbreviated legend is partially visible in the upper field, consistent with the ethnic ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pausanias son of Metrodoros served as a magistrate (magistrate name appears on the coin as issuing authority) during a period when Magnesia ad Meandrum was navigating the complicated aftermath of Pergamene rule — the city passed to Rome following Attalos III's bequest of his kingdom in 133 BC, placing it within the new province of Asia. Civic bronze issues of this type were the city's mechanism for local small-denomination exchange, entirely outside Roman monetary control. The SNG von Aulock reference anchors this piece within a well-documented but thinly studied magistrate series from the city.
