| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Gordian III facing right, presented from the front, with a gorgoneion (Medusa head) on the breastplate. The emperor's portrait exhibits the characteristic youthful features associated with his Alexandrian coinage. The obverse legend in Greek characters surrounds the bust, reading Α Κ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ΕΥ(ΣΕΒ), abbreviating his imperial titulature as Augustus Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus Eusebes (Pious). |
