| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view common to later provincial coinage. The imperial effigy is rendered with military attire, the cuirass visible at the shoulder, and the laurel wreath clearly indicated atop the head. A dotted border frames the flan. The Greek imperial titulature legend surrounds the bust in the field. |

Magnesia ad Maeandrum sits in the Maeander river valley of Ionia, and its civic bronze issues under Gordian III reflect the city's continued investment in the imperial cult during a reign defined by military crisis on the eastern frontier. The magistrate named in the legend — Aelius Demonikos — held the post of grammateus, the chief administrative title attached to coin production in many Asian cities, though his tenure and family remain unattested outside numismatic sources. Civic bronzes of this size from Magnesia are notably scarcer than those from neighboring Miletus or Ephesus.
