| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Nero facing right, with characteristic youthful features including curled hair rendered in the provincial style. The neck is slightly truncated and the portrait is set within the coin field with a surrounding Greek legend. The effigy displays the typical heavy-featured portraiture associated with Neronian provincial coinage of Thessaly. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Radiate head of Nero facing right, the solar radiate crown rendered with clearly defined spikes emanating from the head, presenting the emperor in a divine or quasi-divine aspect. The bust is draped and the portrait style is consistent with provincial workshop production of the Julio-Claudian period. The surrounding Greek legend attributes the issue to the civic authority of the Magnetes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Magnetes of Thessaly — a regional league rather than a single polis — issued bronze coinage under Nero that reflects the administrative reorganization of Greek communities under Roman provincial rule. In 67 AD, Nero famously proclaimed the "freedom of Greece" at the Isthmian Games, temporarily exempting Achaea from direct taxation, a gesture reversed by Vespasian just two years later. Whether this issue predates or postdates that proclamation is unresolved, but the league's continued use of its own ethnic in the legend suggests local civic identity persisted well into the Julio-Claudian period.
