| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view, with the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder and visible plate armour beneath. The Imperial effigy is depicted in the characteristic provincial style of the Conventus of Alabanda, with the laurel wreath rendered in low relief. The encircling Greek legend identifies the emperor by his full titulature, disposed around the bust in the field. |
