Roman Silver,

Antoninianus,

243-244AD 

Weight: 4.1g

Gordian III, born in 225, became emperor in 238 at only 13 years old. His reign only lasted for 6 years approximately until he died in 244, although this is questioned. Gordian III was supposedly only 19 years old when he died yet there’s no certain record of how old  he was when he died or how long he was in reign for. It is assumed he was killed during the Battle of Misiche between the 13th of January and the 14th of March 244.
