| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, presented from a three-quarter frontal perspective, rendered in the provincial Roman style typical of Cilician civic coinage. The radiate crown, consisting of pointed rays, identifies the emperor's quasi-solar imperial dignity. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, with the abbreviated titles Π Π (Pater Patriae) appearing in the field. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with Gordian III's coinage, with the drapery and cuirass indicating both his civilian and military authority. |
