| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, viewed from the rear, with the radiate crown rendered in low relief. The imperial titulature is disposed around the bust as a continuous Greek legend in the field. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with Gordian III's provincial coinage, with visible paludamentum and scale cuirass details typical of Bithynian civic bronzes of the mid-third century. |
