| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, a presentation typical of later provincial coinage of Asia Minor. The effigy displays the imperial paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with the cuirass visible beneath. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait style is characteristic of the Severan-era provincial workshops of the Maeander valley, with bold, slightly stylised facial features. |
