| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, presented from a rear three-quarter perspective, conveying a pronounced military character typical of his provincial coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic heavy features associated with Maximinus, with the laurel wreath denoting imperial authority. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within a dotted border, running along the periphery of the flan. The overall style is consistent with the provincial bronze coinage struck at Heraclea Pontica during the reign of Maximinus I, AD 235–238. |
