| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Sponsianus facing right, rendered in a crude provincial style characteristic of irregular or usurper coinage. The portrait is executed with limited artistic refinement, displaying a bearded effigy with a radiate crown. The encircling obverse legend reads IMP SPONSIANI, identifying the issuer as Imperator Sponsianus. The overall fabric of the coin reflects the irregular hammered technique common to unofficial or usurper emissions of the 3rd century Roman period. |
