| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Gordian III facing right, seen from the rear, rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's youthful effigy is depicted with a radiate laurel wreath upon his head, visible paludamentum over the shoulder, and cuirass detailing at the chest. The encircling Greek legend reads Α Κ Μ ΑΝ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ΕΥϹΕ(Β), denoting his imperial titulature and epithet of piety. The portraiture is characteristic of the Alexandrian mint's coinage during the reign of Gordian III, reflecting the local engraving tradition. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, strides purposefully to the right atop a low base or globe, her large, feathered wings spread prominently behind her. She holds a wreath extended in her right hand and carries a long palm branch over her left shoulder, both attributes emblematic of military triumph. The regnal year date, rendered as L Β (year 2, corresponding to 238–239 AD), flanks the figure to the left and right in the field. The composition is bold and vigorous, consistent with the established iconographic conventions of the Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage under the Severan and subsequent dynasties. |
