| Reverse description | The centaur Chiron advancing to the left, depicted in the traditional half-human, half-equine form, holding a reed (uncertain attribute) in one hand and a lyre in the other, referencing the mythological tradition of Chiron as tutor of heroes and patron of music. The retrograde legend encircles the type, and the numeral Γ (3) likely denotes a civic denomination or issue number. The type reflects the local pride of the Magnetes in their mythological heritage, as Chiron was closely associated with Mount Pelion in Thessaly. |
