| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with paludamentum visible on the left shoulder. The imperial effigy displays the characteristic youthful features associated with this emperor's portraiture. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, partially legible on this worn specimen. The die work reflects the provincial Alexandrian style, somewhat cruder than metropolitan Roman issues of the same period. |
