| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Emperor Nero facing right, depicted with characteristic portraiture of the Neronian period. The radiate crown, composed of diverging rays, frames the imperial effigy in left-facing or right-facing profile. The legend encircles the bust within the coin's field, rendered in Latin capitals. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of provincial bronze coinage struck at Corinth during this period. |

| Reverse description | The Emperor, identified as Nero, stands to the left upon a suggestum (raised platform or tribunal), his right hand raised in the gesture of adlocutio (address to the people or troops), and his left hand holding a scroll. The composition reflects the imperial ceremony of formal public address. The legend distributed around and within the field names the local magistrate Lucius Rutilius Piso as quinquennial duovir of the Roman colony of Corinth, situating this issue firmly within the civic coinage tradition of Achaean Corinth. |
