| Obverse description | Laureate head of Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Achaean civic coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The surrounding legend reads ΝΕ ΚΑΙ ΖΕΥϹ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΟϹ, equating Nero Caesar with Zeus the Liberator, a common honorific formulation in Greek provincial issues. The field shows the irregular flan characteristic of hammered provincial bronze coinage. |
