| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Meandrum gained the right to strike silver tetradrachms following its refoundation under Seleucid patronage, though by the mid-second century BC the city operated with increasing autonomy as Seleucid power fractured after Apamea. The magistrate name Euphemos, son of Pausanias, places this coin within a documented sequence of named officials responsible for the mint — a practice that tied civic accountability directly to coinage production.
The Magnesians struck in the so-called stephanophoric tradition common to Ionian civic mints of this period, and die studies across the Weber and SNG corpora have helped establish the relative chronology of these issues with reasonable confidence.
