| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, presented frontally with considerable three-quarter perspective. The imperial cuirass is adorned with an eagle in relief, a hallmark of the military portrait type employed at Heraclea Pontica. The encircling obverse legend is rendered in Greek characters. The overall style is characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Heracles, nude, turned to the left, raising his club in his right hand and seizing the multi-headed Lernaean Hydra with his left. To the right of the composition, a quiver and bow are depicted in the field, referencing the hero's attributes. The scene alludes to the Second Labour of Heracles and underscores the city's divine patronage, as Heraclea Pontica claimed foundation by the hero. The reverse legend encircles the type in Greek, proclaiming the city as the mother of colony cities. |
