This is part of an inherited collection and without being able to read the inscription, I am not sure how to identify it.

A nice looking Antoninianus of Gordian III.

'FORTUNA REDUX' OK,
Fabric OK.

The style of this coin suggests to me that it may have been struck early in the reign of the next Emperor, Philip 1.
The image of Gordian 111 has a beard, which is unusual. Perhaps the die cutters had not yet received a bust from which to model the image of Philip 1, onto the dies.
