    This is a awsome Gordian III, bright and having a hard time getting an accurate photo. My photographing skills are not the best either but I like to hope I'm improving.
    Here's another retake.

    There are some really nice denarii of Gordian in this thread!
    I have no silver Gordians to show; but it is OK to show our bronze Gordians, yes?

    I have this sestertius of Gordian, with Sol on the reverse. I found this coin back in 1990 or so, and it took me about a week to find out who the dude was.


    Gordian III (238-244). Æ Sestertius, Rome, 240-3.
    Obv: Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust r.
    Rev: Sol standing l., raising hand and holding globe.
    RIC IV 297a

    Of course it's ok. Bronze Gordian III are still Gordian III coins, are they not? My only sestertius of his, a Securitas reverse.

    OK then, here's my Gordy sestertius with just the begining of a mustache growing on the young emperor's face
