| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front. The cuirass bears a prominent gorgoneion at the centre, a characteristic feature of imperial military portraiture of the mid-third century. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait displays the youthful physiognomy associated with Gordian III's coinage, with fine engraving typical of the Ephesian mint workshop. |
