| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter view, a standard provincial presentation emphasizing the imperial regalia. The circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, running along the coin's periphery. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges typical of hammered provincial bronze coinage, with a rough, encrusted surface consistent with extended circulation and burial. The portrait, though worn, retains the youthful features associated with Gordian III's numismatic effigy. |
