| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I Thrax facing right, presented from a rear three-quarter perspective, conveying the emperor's imposing military character. The portrait renders the characteristic features associated with Maximinus, set within a circular field with the Imperial titulature distributed around the periphery. The legend runs along the right and upper portions of the flan in Greek characters. The coin exhibits a heavy dark-green patina consistent with prolonged burial, with surface encrustation obscuring finer detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximinus Thrax never set foot in the eastern provinces — his entire reign was consumed by campaigns on the Rhine and Danube frontiers, and he was dead before completing three years in power. Civic bronzes like this one from Magnesia ad Maeandrum were struck not at imperial initiative but by local boule decision, typically as a gesture of loyalty to whichever emperor currently held power.
Magnesia's mint output under Maximinus is sparse. The city had a longer tradition of honoring emperors who actually visited or patronized the region, making issues for an emperor of his profile and brevity comparatively uncommon.
