| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front. The imperial effigy displays the characteristic youthful features of the emperor, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor with his full imperial titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical provincial die workmanship of the mid-third century. |

| Reverse description | Zeus standing left in the field, rendered in full figure, holding an eagle perched on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The god is depicted in the conventional Hellenistic manner, lightly draped about the lower body. The encircling Greek legend distributed around the periphery of the flan records the name and title of the local magistrate (grammateus) responsible for the coin issue. The relief is worn but the type remains clearly identifiable. |
