| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Nero's later reign, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated around the head. The flan is irregular and slightly rough, consistent with hammered Egyptian provincial issues of the period. No surrounding legend is present on this small denomination. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right with wings partially spread, rendered in the distinctive style of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The bird is depicted with folded wings and turned head, occupying the central field of the flan. The regnal date inscription L ΙΒ (Year 12) appears in the field, denoting the twelfth year of Nero's reign corresponding to 65–66 AD. The reverse design follows the established iconographic tradition of eagle types used on small Alexandrian bronzes throughout the Julio-Claudian period. |
