| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, seen from the front, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pamphylian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy is encircled by a Greek imperial titulature legend reading ΑΤ Κ Μ ΑΝ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ, identifying him as Augustus. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with Gordian III, with visible drapery and cuirass detailing at the truncation. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hammered provincial bronze production of the mid-third century AD. |
