| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Herennia Etruscilla, empress consort of Trajan Decius, facing right. The effigy displays the characteristic Severan-era coiffure with stephane diadem, rendered in the provincial Greek style. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the empress by her imperial titulature. The portrait is executed in the typical workshop style of the Smyrna conventus, with bold relief modelling of the facial features and drapery folds visible at the truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Sipylum sat in the Hermus valley at the foot of Mount Sipylus, administratively tied to the Smyrna conventus for Roman judicial and administrative purposes. The magistrate name recorded in the legend — Artemas — is otherwise poorly documented, and his tenure falls squarely within the two-year reign of Decius, a period when provincial bronze coinage across Asia Minor was already beginning its terminal decline as the silver antoninianus crowded civic issues out of practical use.
Within a decade of this striking, most cities in the Smyrna conventus had ceased independent bronze production entirely.
