| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, seen from the front, with the imperial effigy rendered in the conventional provincial style. The obverse legend surrounds the bust, running along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a dark green patina with earthen deposits consistent with prolonged burial, and the flan is somewhat irregular in shape as typical of hammered provincial bronze issues. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Astraios, the personification of the local river associated with Metropolis in Ionia, is depicted reclining to the left in a classical recumbent pose. He holds a reed in his extended hand and leans with his elbow upon an overturned water urn from which water flows, a standard iconographic convention for river deities on Greek Imperial coinage. The ethnic legend ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ encircles the type, identifying the issuing city. The reverse field shows significant wear and encrustation, though the principal design elements remain discernible. |
