| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing on a stepped or moulded altar, head turned to the right, with wings fully spread in heraldic display — a type emblematic of Roman imperial apotheosis imagery as appropriated by provincial civic coinage. The altar beneath the eagle is rendered with architectural detail, emphasising the sacred character of the type. The ethnic legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ fills the field, identifying the issuing city of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The overall composition is bold and centralised, consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Ionian cities during the reign of Philip I. |
