| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Sabinia Tranquillina facing left, her hair elaborately coiffed and adorned with a diadem, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pontic civic coinage. The portrait is set within a circular field with the imperial legend disposed around the periphery. The bust truncation is visible at the lower edge, and the overall style reflects local die-cutting traditions of the Amastrian mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris was a coastal Pontic city with an unusually strong civic identity for a Roman provincial center — it had been founded by the niece of Darius III and retained Greek institutional pride well into the imperial period. The Δ in the legend denotes a civic magistrate designation, a feature of Amastrian bronze issues that helps sequence dies within the reign but remains only partially catalogued. Gordian III's provincial bronzes from this region were struck largely between his accession at age thirteen and his death on campaign against Shapur I in 244.
