| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Balbinus facing right, seen from the front, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Severan-Gordian era. The emperor's beard and facial features are rendered with moderate relief, characteristic of Milesian civic bronzes. The encircling Greek legend reads in the field around the portrait. A dotted border frames the design. |
