| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, a presentation style characteristic of later provincial coinage. The radiate crown with divergent rays frames the imperial effigy, while the paludamentum and body armour are visible at the truncation. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field. |
