Obverse description	Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, seen from the front, with paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder and the muscled cuirass visible beneath. The youthful imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic style of provincial Carian coinage, with drapery folds carefully detailed. The Greek imperial titulature encircles the bust within a beaded border.

Reverse description	Nike, the goddess of Victory, stands in full figure facing left at the center of the field, clad in a long flowing chiton and rendered with spread wings. She extends her right hand forward holding a wreath, while her left hand grasps a tall palm branch resting against her shoulder. The civic legend of Stratonicea is distributed around the figure within a beaded border, attesting to the city's right to strike bronze coinage under Gordian III.
