| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front. The cuirass is adorned with a gorgoneion at the chest, a distinctive apotropaic emblem characteristic of imperial military portraiture. The obverse legend surrounds the imperial effigy in Greek characters. The portrait displays the youthful features typical of Gordian III's provincial coinage, with careful attention to the layered military dress. |
