| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long flowing hair and a full, carefully detailed beard. The laurel wreath is clearly visible adorning the god's hair, and the portraiture displays strong, mature facial features characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the period. A monogram appears in the field behind the head. The design is framed by a border of dots along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, holding a bow in her right hand and with a quiver slung over her shoulder, seated left upon the prow of a galley. A dolphin appears in the left field, and a monogram is placed to the right. The composition reflects the maritime and civic iconography typical of the Magnesian league coinage, with the legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ inscribed in the field. |
