| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gordian III facing right, seen from the rear, with the cuirass rendered in fine detail showing pteryges at the shoulder; a circular fibula is visible at the breast. The imperial effigy displays youthful features characteristic of Gordian III's portrait type. The obverse legend runs in Greek characters around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | The emperor, clad in full military dress with paludamentum and holding a spear in his right hand, stands facing left; behind him, Nike advances to crown him with a wreath. Before the emperor stands Tyche, facing right, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm. The composition is a dynamic three-figure group emphasizing imperial victory and civic prosperity, typical of the high-quality civic bronze coinage of the Pergamene conventus. The reverse legend naming the first archon of Germe runs around the periphery. |
