| Beschrijving keerzijde | Laureate head of the deified emperor Claudius facing right, enclosed within a laurel wreath that frames the entire design. Flanking the portrait in the field are abbreviated legends on either side, including the letters SC (Senatus Consulto) and EX SC (Ex Senatus Consulto), attesting to senatorial authority. The wreath border is rendered in careful detail with individual leaves and berries visible. This reverse type, honoring Nero's adoptive father Claudius, is characteristic of RIC I 614 and underscores the dynastic legitimacy Nero sought to project in his early coinage. |

This denomination sits in an unusual interregnum of Neronian monetary policy. By the late 50s AD, Nero had not yet enacted his famous currency debasement — that came with the reform of 64 AD, which reduced the silver content of the denarius and trimmed its weight. Coins struck in this earlier window therefore carry a fineness that his later issues cannot match. The "Claudius" component of the obverse legend reflects Nero's deliberate invocation of his adoptive father's name as a legitimizing device, a rhetorical habit he quietly dropped as his reign grew more autocratic.
