A bare headed Magnetics?

I brought 3 coins that all looked like Decentius but once cleaned up this one looks like a bare headed Magnentis? What does everyone think? Thanks Jason

It looks like Magnentius but it would be better to show both sides of the coin.

 

yes, the obverse legend is ..DN MAGNENTIVS PF AVG

 

Thanks guys. Attachdo is the reverse. I'm fairly new to this but I thought bare headed was for when they are ceasers? And I didn't think he held that title, we went "straight to Augustus"? So I guess I'm asking us it common for this emperor to have a coin bare headed? Thanks in advanced. Jason

 

Magnentius is usually portrayed with his head bare although he assumed the title of Augustus, while Decentius is always portrayed bare headed.

 

Thanks....so much to learn!. Cheers

 

No problem. Good luck with the hobby

 

I thought this thread had something to do with the coins being magnetic.
