| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress and principal deity of Magnesia ad Maeandrum, stands erect in a biga drawn by two galloping stags moving to the right. The goddess reaches back with her right hand to draw an arrow from the quiver slung at her shoulder, while her left hand grasps the bow, conveying dynamic movement and divine energy. The composition reflects the city's strong religious association with Artemis Leucophryene and is a well-attested reverse type for Magnesian civic bronze coinage of the third century AD. The Greek legend encircling the field names the city and its presiding grammateus, providing a precise civic and administrative attribution. |
