Is this a Gordian III?

    I'm entirely new to ancient coins and therefore am struggling with attribution :p

    I realise this coin is still dirty, but I can't get the dirt off - did distilled water then olive oil. I'm thinking its Gordian III based on crown and bust but am not sure. The other side is completely useless for id purposes :(

    sze would be helpful, along with a strait picture. It may be Gordian III, but I highly doubt it.

    Thanks, the diameter is 18mm and I've attempted to scan a better image.
