| Reverse description | A lyre depicted centrally in the field, rendered with detail showing the resonating body, arms, cross-bar, and multiple strings — an emblematic reference to Nero's well-documented association with music and his self-presentation as a devotee of Apollo. The ethnic legend ϹΗϹΤΙΩΝ, identifying the issuing civic authority of Sestus, is divided and placed to either side of the lyre. The type is characteristic of the civic bronze coinage of the Thracian Chersonese under the early Neronian period. |
