| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from behind, displaying the characteristic late Severan-era provincial portraiture style. The emperor's effigy is set within a beaded border, with the imperial titulature legend disposed around the periphery of the field. The bust exhibits visible detail of the cuirass and paludamentum, consistent with standard military honorific presentation on provincial civic coinage of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia, personification of civic concord, depicted standing to the left in full figure, draped in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand to pour a libation from a patera, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia, symbolising abundance and harmony between communities. The figure is framed by a beaded border, with the Greek legend of the strategos and ethnic of the Pergamenes disposed around the periphery of the field in typical Asia Minor civic coinage fashion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pergamum's civic bronze issues under Gordian III were administered by a local magistrate — here Gaius Claudius Glycon, whose name the legend records. The Greek East continued minting autonomous civic bronzes well into the third century precisely because Rome lacked the infrastructure to supply provincial markets with small change, leaving cities to fill the gap themselves.
The Conventus of Pergamum was the senior judicial district of Asia, and Pergamum leveraged that status aggressively in its coin output during this period.
