Gordian III - sestertius

Nice Gordian III sestertius, reverse : Providentia Aug. 28-32 mm, 20.54 g. RIC IV Gordian III 257

It was minted in 238, and is probably the very first bronze issue as Augustus for this young emperor of only 13. I like this coin because of the portrait : Gordian tries to look serious, without the stupid smile he has on later issues.
