| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus Thrax facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, with the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and the muscled cuirass visible beneath. The imperial effigy displays the characteristic broad, powerful features associated with Maximinus. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, naming the emperor in full titulature. The flan exhibits an irregular, slightly convex surface typical of provincial bronze coinage struck at Sardes during the Severan period. |
