| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, seen from the front, rendered in the distinctive Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's effigy displays a radiate laureate wreath, with visible paludamentum (military cloak) over the cuirass, reflecting his dual role as military commander and head of state. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust, reading Α Κ Μ ΑΝ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ΕΥϹ(Ε), abbreviating his full titulature as Augustus. A dotted border frames the composition along the coin's periphery. |
