(Translation: `Emperor Caesar Markus Antonius Gordianus`.)
Reverse description Two standing figures face one another in a scene of mutual greeting or handshake (dexiosis), rendered in the provincial artistic style of Cilicia. The figures, likely representing the emperor and a personification or civic deity of Irenopolis, are depicted with drapery indicated by incised lines. The encircling legend EΙΡΗΝΟΠΟΛEΙΤⲰΝ identifies the issuing city, while EΤ ΒЧΡ in the lower field denotes the civic year 192 of the Irenopolitan era, corresponding to AD 242-243. The reverse field shows typical die wear and uneven strike consistent with third-century provincial bronze production.
