| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing left, presented from the rear in a heroic military pose, the emperor's right hand leveling a forward-pointing spear while a round shield, its boss decorated with a gorgoneion apotropaic device, is braced against the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Mysian mint at Miletopolis, with fine radiate crown spikes distinguishing the imperial dignity. The Greek legend is disposed around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Miletopolis was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III belongs to a well-documented burst of provincial bronze production that accelerated after the collapse of the Severan dynasty in 235 AD. Cities across the Cyzicus conventus seized on the political instability of the 230s and 240s to assert local identity through coin issues, often competing for the honorific titles that Rome periodically granted. Miletopolis never held neokorate status, which kept its issues modest in ambition and volume.
The reference VII.1#87.1 places this within Leschhorn's corpus of Mysian civic bronzes — a classification series that identified numerous previously uncatalogued dies from this city.
