| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, portrayed from behind to emphasize the paludamentum and segmented cuirass. The youthful imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Viminacium, with clearly articulated laurel wreath and military attire. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FELIX AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Moesia Superior stands facing left in the centre of the field, draped, with arms extended toward two flanking animals. To her left, a bull stands facing right, and to her right, a lion stands facing left — emblematic of the two legions garrisoned in the province. The exergual and field inscription records the colonial title and the local era year, reading P M S COL VIM AN III, corresponding to the third year of Viminacium's colonial era (241-242 AD). |
