| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, depicted from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass rendered in detail. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery within a beaded border. The portrait reflects the characteristic youthful features associated with Gordian III as rendered by provincial Ionian die-cutters of the mid-third century AD. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΝΤΩ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus) |
| Reverse description | The three Charites (Graces) standing as a group in the central field, depicted as three draped or semi-draped female figures in their canonical arrangement, the outer two facing inward and the central figure facing outward, their forms intertwined in the traditional pose. The composition is framed by the Greek civic legend disposed around the periphery within a beaded border, referencing the local grammateus Amarantos under whose civic magistracy the coin was issued at Magnesia ad Maeandrum. |
