We are extremely grateful to Professor Andreas Furtwängler for making his, as yet, unpublished manuscript on the autonomous coinage of Magnetes available to us. It was a great privilege to have been able to use it, and a great help.
A note from BCD: This particular coin is, contrary to almost all the other known examples, unusually attractive and well struck for its type.
