| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted busts: to the right, the laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III, and to the left, the draped bust of Serapis wearing a kalathos (modius). The two effigies face one another in the vis-à-vis arrangement characteristic of provincial coinage of this period. The imperial legend surrounds the field in Greek characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dionysopolis, a small Black Sea coastal city in Lower Moesia (modern Balchik, Bulgaria), issued bronze coinage under Gordian III as part of the broader phenomenon of provincial civic bronze — locally authorized issues that filled the gap left by Rome's increasingly debased silver. The city's output under Gordian is modest in number of recorded types, making individual pieces from this reign genuinely scarce rather than artificially so.
Varbanov 589 is among the rarer entries in the Dionysopolis sequence for this reign.
