| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, depicted with his characteristic strong, bearded features. The imperial effigy is rendered in a robust provincial style, with visible detail on the paludamentum and armour. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ Κ Γ Ι ΟΥΗ ΜΑΞΙΜΕΙΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The portrait reflects the military bearing associated with this soldier-emperor. |

| Reverse description | A bull standing to the left in the field, rendered with fine engraved detail on the body and mane; a branch or palm frond appears to the right behind the animal. The type likely alludes to a local civic or religious symbol of Mastaura. The encircling Greek ethnic legend ΜΑΥϹΤΑΥΡΕΙΤΩΝ, reading around the periphery of the coin, identifies the issuing city. The composition is framed by a beaded border, consistent with the provincial bronze coinage of Lydia under Maximinus I. |
