| Beschrijving keerzijde | Radiate head facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style, likely representing the deified Augustus or a solar divinity associated with the imperial cult as venerated by the Magnetes. The figure displays a radiate crown with diverging rays clearly distinguishing the type. The encircling legend ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ ΜΑΓΝΗΤωΝ identifies the issuing civic community and the Augustan honorific. The flan is irregular and the surfaces are heavily patinated, consistent with the coin's age and condition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Magnesians of Thessaly — not to be confused with the Ionian Magnesia ad Maeandrum — maintained a modest civic coinage tradition under the early empire, striking bronze issues in the name of the emperor as a form of loyalist expression rather than financial necessity. Local bronze of this kind circulated only within the immediate region and was produced at civic, not imperial, expense.
Claudius received particular attention from Greek provincial communities partly because of his well-documented interest in Hellenic history and antiquarian scholarship.
