| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Thessalian civic coinage of the mid-second century AD. The portrait displays the characteristic beard and mature features associated with Antoninus Pius's imperial iconography. A Greek legend encircles the effigy, reading ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΑΝΤωΝΕΙΝΟϹ. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show considerable wear consistent with circulation use. |

| Reverse description | Artemis Iolkia, the local tutelary goddess of the Magnesians, depicted seated to the left, with a quiver at her shoulder, holding a flower (uncertain) in one hand and a bow in the other. The composition reflects the distinctive provincial cult imagery of Artemis Iolkia as venerated at Iolkos in Thessaly. The encircling Greek legend identifies the deity and the issuing civic authority. The reverse field is heavily worn, obscuring finer details of the design. |
