| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, elaborately curled hair and full beard. The laurel wreath is clearly articulated with individual leaves. The portrait exhibits strong three-dimensional modeling, with pronounced facial features and a commanding, mature expression characteristic of divine portraiture. The coin's irregular flan frames the design within a plain field. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, attired in her distinctive short hunting costume, seated left upon the prow of a galley. She carries a quiver over her shoulder and holds a bow in her extended right hand. To the left of the prow, a dolphin swims downward; above, a monogram of ΩΜΥ appears in the field. The ethnic legend ΜΑΓΝΗ ΤΩΝ is disposed around the design, identifying the issuing city of the Magnetes. |
