| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Empress Tranquillina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and adorned with a stephane, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic bronzes. The effigy is set within a circular border, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait conveys the formal imperial iconography standard for consort imagery during the reign of Gordian III. |
